Al-Arshani’s house was the first drone strike I ever visited. I
interviewed most of the survivors. I visited them almost a month after
the strike, and I still found a few pieces of his house. It is one of
the places in Yemen where most civilians were killed ever [as a result
of a drone strike]. Whether Al-Arshani was part of al-Qaida or not, the
U.S. killed 24 innocent Yemenis. They could have been more efficient and
accurate with their strike — at least if this policy was well thought
out.
A lot of people after 9/11, all around the world, hated al-Qaida,
because they did a terrorist attack and killed innocent people.
