US admits two hostages killed in al-Qaeda raid

"The White House has said that a US counterterrorism operation in January accidentally killed two hostages who were being held by al-Qaeda." (BBC News)

 According to my understanding, recently, two "innocent" hostages killed by CIA drone attacks. One of the man was American named Warren Weinstein and the other was Italian named Giovanni Lo Porto. They were mistaken for a member of al-Qaeda and killed in the raid near the boader of Afghanistan and Pakistan. 

 

 Also, two other Americans died in the same raid, recognizing them as a member of al-Qaeda while they weren't. However, during their mission, the leader of al-Qaeda, Ahmed Farouq, killed and spokeman for military group, Adam Gadahn, got killed in different raid.

 US lauched attacks on the raid believing that it is al-Qaeda's base with no civilians. The chief commander and the White House said to take "full responsibility" for it.
