President Barack Obama has approved the use of armed Predator drone aircraft in Libya to improve the precision of low-level attacks on ground targets, Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Thursday.
The first armed drone mission since Obama’s go-ahead was flown on Thursday, but the aircraft, armed with Hellfire missiles, turned back due to poor weather conditions without firing any of its munitions.
As President Obama okays the use of robotic drones in Libya, 25 people—including women and children—were killed in Pakistan today at the hands of the very same aircrafts. As America unveils a new battle plan overseas, will the possibility of success outweigh the death toll of civilians?
