Days after prime minister Nawaz Sharif spoke against the use of US drones in Pakistan at the UN General Assembly, a CIA-operated spy plane targeted a house in the lawless North Waziristan region and killed four suspected militants.
This was the second drone strike in as many days. On Sunday, six suspected militants were killed when a pilotless spy plane targeted a house in North Waziristan. The attacks prompted the government to again strongly condemn the strikes. A statement from the foreign office said the strikes violated Pakistan’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. Pakistan has repeatedly emphasised the importance of an immediate end to drone strikes, the statement said.
