Amnesty International: U.S. May Have Committed Drone-Related War Crimes

Drone

Amnesty International stops just short of accusing the United States of war crimes in a new report on American drone killings in Pakistan. The documents focus on two separate strikes that left scores of civilians dead or injured for what they claim is no apparent reason.

Mamana Bibi, a 68-year old grandmother, was blown up by a hellfire missile last October while she was picking okra outside her home; Amnesty describes Bibi's situation in its first case study. The second involves 18 laborers — including a 14-year-old boy — who were drinking afternoon tea just before a missile killed them.
