HeadlineJan 24, 2014

A new study says the number of civilian casualties from the U.S. drone war in Pakistan saw a major decline in 2013. The Bureau of Investigative Journalism says as many as four, but possibly zero, civilians were killed by CIA drones last year. As many as 63 civilians were killed in Pakistan the previous year. Yemen, meanwhile, saw as many as 29 civilians killed, including up to 15 in an attack on a wedding convoy late last month.
