UN Investigates American Drone Program

The UNITED NATIONS has decided to set up an official investigation into the American use of unmanned, predator drones, to target and bomb alleged insurgents.

In the last 4 years the Obama administration has dramatically increased the use of remote controlled drones in Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia, and in the process, hundreds of civilians have been killed.

Two senior UN officials will now investigate the legality of the program which some claim is a clear breach of international law.
