US led drone strikes in war zones mostly targets civilians rather than terrorist points, Edward Corrigan said in an interview.

Edward Corrigan, a human rights lawyer in Ontario, discusses the drone strikes by US in southwestern Somalia, allegedly killing a senior leader of al-Shabab militant group.

Corrigan says the US drone strikes are clearly illegal assassination campaigns conducted outside of the United States’ declared war zone, which mostly kill civilians rather than terrorists, adding, nobody can rely on the CIA or Pentagon’s reports about the death of the targeted individuals.
