I think theandrewbailey is maybe talking about the relatively low likelihood that the CIA would use a cheap and ineffective drone to assassinate a South American leader. Especially when there are so many more clean ways to do so.
I think a few years back a whole slew of South American leaders came down with cancer for instance. Not that the CIA was behind that, it may have been coincidence and happenstance, but you get the idea. When you decide you need someone dead, then you need them dead. You can't "miss". I don't think it likely at all that the CIA would do something so ham-handed as using a hobbyist drone to attempt an assassination.
