The Obama administration has acknowledged for the first time the death , in recent years , four Americans , one of them deliberately in drone attacks ( drone ) in Yemen and Pakistan. This announcement comes a day before the president's speech intended to explain some changes in national security policy .
The deaths of the four Americans was recognized by Attorney General Eric Holder, in a letter sent Wednesday to the leaders of both parties in Congress in which the decision to kill defends one of them, the most famous of all Anwar al- Awlaki as a " legitimate and fair " measure .
Has long had attributed the death of Al- Awlaki a U.S. drone attack carried out in the territory of Yemen in September 2011 , but the government , which kept secret drones program until less than a year, never had admitted .
In its submission to Congress , Holder also recognizes the dead in the same attack American citizen Samir Khan and the son of Al- Awlaki, Abdulrahman al- Awlaki , another drone bombing in Yemen a few months later . News of both deaths had.
However, a quarter did not know the American citizen, Mohammed Jude , that, according to the letter sent by the attorney general , was killed by a drone in Pakistan, apparently in November 2011 .
Holder said in its submission that only the death of Al- Awlaki was premeditated . The other three were circumstantial . He adds that in the case of the former , a leader of Al Qaeda influential Internet , is justified by the discovered plans to organize attacks against the United States.
" The information that is available , and that remains classified to protect sources and methods of obtaining it , make clear Awlaki 's involvement in planning numerous plots against U.S. and Western interests , and demonstrates that those still involved in plots until the time of his death , "said the notice from the Department of Justice.
Precisely Thursday Obama will announce new rules on the use of drones , whose massive participation in the war against terrorism during the years of this administration has caused much criticism against the president. The drones , but reduce risk of attackers and perhaps the number of accidental deaths, are of great moral question. It is expected that in the same speech Obama also made public a new strategy to try closing the Guantanamo prison .
These two cases , drones and Guantanamo are the main reasons for the controversy over Obama's counterterrorism policy and two of the common cause for protest by human rights organizations .
In the case of drones , their use has multiplied in the first four years of this government to become the most effective for the dismantling of Al Qaeda weapon. At the same time, both the governments of Pakistan and Afghanistan , the two countries that have intervened more frequently , have complained that the bombings of these devices often affect innocent civilians.
