Drone strikes under President Barack Obama have killed an estimated 2,400 people – but there has never been an official count. That would change under a bipartisan bill introduced in the House of Representatives on Wednesday.
The bill, sponsored by Reps. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) and Walter Jones (R-N.C.), would require the administration to release an annual count of the number of people killed in drone strikes,** as well as information on whether they were believed to be civilians or combatants. **The legislation, which is similar to an amendment sponsored by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) in the 2014 intelligence authorization bill, would be retroactive for five years.
