U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder will defend the targeting killings of terror suspects, including U.S. citizens, in a speech tomorrow in Chicago, according to a person familiar with the address.

Holder’s speech at the Northwestern University law school will be the Obama administration’s highest profile defense of targeting killings since an American drone strike in Yemen last September killed Anwar al-Awlaki, a U.S.-born al-Qaeda recruiter and propagandist.
