The Children Killed by America\u2019s Drones. \u201cCrimes Against Humanity\u201d committed by Barack H. Obama.<\/strong>
\nBy Michel Chossudovsky – Global Research – 26 January, 2013<\/p>\n

This is a list of names of innocent children killed by America\u2019s drones<\/p>\n

But behind each name there is the face of a child with a family history in a village in a far away country, with a mom and a dad, with brothers and sisters and friends.<\/p>\n

Among the list, are infants of 1, 2, 3 and 4 years old.<\/p>\n

In some cases brothers and sisters of an entire family are killed.<\/p>\n

Four sisters of the Ali Mohammed Nasser family in Yemen were killed. Afrah was 9 years old when she and her three younger sisters Zayda (7 years old) , Hoda (5 years old) and Sheika (4 years old) were struck by an American drone.<\/p>\n

Ibrahim, a 13 year old boy of the Abdullah Mokbel Salem Louqye family in Yemen was struck by a US drone, together with his younger brother Asmaa (9 years old) and two younger sisters, Salma (4 years old) and Fatima (3 years old) <\/p>\n

These children are innocent. They are not different from our own children.<\/p>\n

Their lives were taken away at a very young age as part of a military agenda, which claims to be combating \u201cinternational terrorism\u201d<\/p>\n

These drone attacks are extremely precise. We are not dealing with \u201ccollateral damage\u201d.<\/p>\n

Drone operators have the ability of viewing from a computer screen their targets well in advance of a strike.<\/p>\n

A family home is referred to as a \u201cstructure\u201d or a \u201cbuilding\u201d rather than a house. When they target a home with family members, they kill children. And they know that in advance of the drone strike:<\/p>\n

\u201cBryant saw a flash on the screen: the explosion. Parts of the building collapsed. The child had disappeared. Bryant had a sick feeling in his stomach.<\/p>\n

\u201cDid we just kill a kid?\u201d he asked the man sitting next to him.<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, I guess that was a kid,\u201d the pilot replied.<\/p>\n

\u201cWas that a kid?\u201d they wrote into a chat window on the monitor.\u201d (The Woes of an American Drone Operator, Spiegel.de, December 14, 2012)<\/p>\n

These children were killed on the orders of the US President and Commander in Chief Barack H. Obama.<\/p>\n

The commander in chief sets the military agenda and authorizes these killings to proceed.<\/p>\n

The killings were quite deliberate. They are categorized as \u201ccrimes against humanity\u201d under international law.<\/p>\n

Those who ordered these drone killings, including the president of the United States, are war criminals under international law and must be indicted and prosecuted<\/p>\n

It should be noted that the drone attacks on civilians have increased dramatically during the Obama presidency:<\/p>\n
