Obama’s Covert Drone War in Numbers: Ten Times More Strikes than Bush
Jessica Purkiss and Jack Serle – The Bureau of Investigative Journalism, 23 Jan 2017

17 Jan 2017 – Obama embraced the US drone programme, overseeing more strikes in his first year than Bush carried out during his entire presidency. A total of 563 strikes, largely by drones, targeted Pakistan, Somalia and Yemen during Obama’s two terms, compared to 57 strikes under Bush. Between 384 and 807 civilians were killed in those countries, according to reports logged by the Bureau.
