Study: U.S. Drones Killed Up to 4 Civilians in Pakistan, 29 in Yemen During 2013 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------


 
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 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.
