Puppet Pakistani Regime and US continue killing Pakistani civilians

At least 16 people have been killed in several US assassination drone strikes in northwestern Pakistan.

In yet another US drone attack in Pakistan, US drones fired ten missiles at different targets in the country’s northwestern tribal area of South Waziristan, on Sunday.

According to local media, the aerial attacks left at least seven others injured.

On Thursday, 10 people were killed in similar attacks in the Sar Kanda area of Birmil in South Waziristan near the Afghan border.

Pakistan’s tribal regions are attacked by US assassination drones almost regularly, with Washington claiming that militants are the targets. However, casualty figures clearly indicate that Pakistani civilians are the main victims.

The killing of Pakistani civilians, including women and children, has strained relations between Islamabad and Washington.

Last month, Pakistan’s Jama’at ud-Da’wah political group took legal action against the ongoing drone attacks. The group said despite a resolution passed by the Pakistani parliament in condemnation of the US attacks, the drone strikes continue to claim the lives of civilians.

In addition, the Lahore High Court called on the Pakistani government on November 3 to immediately respond to the group’s petition that had called for an end to US airstrikes.

Over the past months, massive demonstrations have also been held across Pakistan to condemn the United States for violating Pakistan’s sovereignty.
