American, Italian Hostages Killed in CIA Drone Strike in January | 23 April 2015 | A U.S. drone strike in January targeting a suspected 'al Qaeda' compound in Pakistan inadvertently killed an American and Italian being held hostage by the group, senior Obama administration officials said. The killing of American development [USAID aka CIA] expert Warren Weinstein and Italian aid worker Giovanni Lo Porto is the first known instance in which the U.S. has accidentally killed a hostage in a drone strike. The mishap represents a major blow to the Central Intelligence Agency and its covert drone program in Pakistan, which President Barack Obama embraced and expanded after coming to office in 2009.
