An American activist says the Obama administration’s drone strikes in Yemen targeting civilians in the country are “shameful and sad.”
“It’s just quite shameful and sad,” Daniel Patrick Welch said in a phone interview with Press TV on Tuesday.
“It’s really sad that they don’t seem to be coming up with any plausible excuses any more. They just feel that they can go around the world and do this as they please,” he added.
The activist was referring to the latest US assassination drone attacks in Yemen.
The death toll from three days of air strikes carried out by US drones in southern Yemen has reached almost 50.
On Monday, at least three people were killed after a US drone fired a missile at a vehicle carrying three men in the country’s southern province of Shabwa.
According to witnesses, the vehicle was completely destroyed and the burnt remains of the bodies could be seen.
The US administration claims that its unmanned aircraft attacks target al-Qaeda militants, but local sources say civilians have been the main victims of the non-UN-sanctioned airstrikes.
“I don’t know exactly what is behind this orgy of killing that has gone on with the drone strikes as well as with Syria and with Ukraine and Venezuela. It’s almost seems like a sort of failing that they already know that they lost the next war which is the economic confrontation with China, and Russia, and the BRICS,” Welch said.
