UN investigator Christof Heyns issued a report to the United Nations Human Rights Council ahead of a debate it’s scheduled to have later today, in which he called on the US to please explain the rash of drone killings which have escalated under President Obama, killing civilians along the way.
Reuters reports: “Citing figures from the Pakistan Human Rights Commission, he said U.S. drone strikes killed at least 957 people in Pakistan in 2010 alone. Thousands have been killed in 300 drone strikes there since 2004, 20 percent of whom are believed to be civilians.”
