The CIA will not be able to block a Freedom of Information Act request regarding records about the justification, approval process, and assessment of casualties ahead of the January 2017 raid by U.S. forces in al Ghayil, Yemen, that left 10 children among the dead, according to reports.

The request for the records, made by the American Civil Liberties Union, was issued to the U.S. Departments of Defense, Justice and State, along with the CIA. According to U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer of the Southern District of New York, all litigation over the request has proceeded with the exception of the CIA.
