U.S. Government officials have claimed that foreign assassinations were never carried out.
However, in 2002, the New York Times wrote the following about the government's assassination program:
In November, the C.I.A. killed a Qaeda leader in a remote region of Yemen. A pilotless Predator aircraft operated by the agency fired a Hellfire antitank missile at a car in which Qaed Salim Sinan al-Harethi, also known as Abu Ali, was riding.
And Seymour Hersh has repeatedly said that assassinations did, in fact, take place.
Indeed, veteran investigative reporter Jeremy Scahill points out that foreign assassinations are still continuing under Obama.
