The White House has said that a US counterterrorism operation in January killed two hostages who were being held by al-Qaeda.
Dr Warren Weinstein, an American held by the militants since 2011, was one of those killed in the raid in the border region of Afghanistan and Pakistan.
The other hostage was Giovanni Lo Porto, an Italian national held since 2012.
President Barack Obama is to speak later about the incident.
