CIA drone program Galápagos fishing boats

Flight data reviewed by the Washington Post shows a US-registered surveillance plane flying out of El Salvador was present at all three maritime incidents near the Galápagos Islands from January to March. The report alleges the CIA ran a covert drone operation targeting Ecuadorian fishing boats, and the Fiorella with its 8-person crew went missing in January. Survivors say quadcopters hit their vessels, then armed men speaking English took them into custody. If the reporting holds, the US conducted lethal covert actions in Ecuadorian waters with no public authorization.
