Dr.
Warren Weinstein, an American aid worker held hostage by al Qaeda, was
accidentally killed in a U.S. drone strike, along with Italian hostage
Giovanni Lo Porto and another American who was an al Qaeda leader, the
White House announced on Thursday.
Officials also announced
that a separate strike killed Adam Gadahn, an American who became a
prominent propagandist for al Qaeda and was close to Osama bin Laden.
The White House said it
was unaware the four were present at the sites, which were hit on Jan.
14 and Jan. 19 near the border of Pakistan and Afghanistan. President
Barack Obama apologized to the families of the hostages and said he took
full responsibility as commander in chief.
