US downplays civilian drone fatalities in new report

Описание: The White House has released its report on the number of civilians killed by drone strikes during its two terms in office.

The report says they conducted 473 strikes killing as many as 2,500 people labeled as combatants and also taking the lives of up to 116 civilians.

It only applies to areas the US does not consider itself in active combat, so excludes Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria.
