U.S. Considers Droning Citizen

The Obama administration is struggling over a decision to attack a U.S. citizen working overseas in the service of al Qaeda, said four U.S. officials.

CIA drones have been monitoring him but cannot legally strike until the Justice Department builds a case, which it hasn’t yet.
