US-puppet Pakistani regime alliance assassination drone kills more Pakistani people

Four people have been killed and several others wounded in a US assassination drone strike in Pakistan’s northwestern tribal region of North Waziristan.

In yet another drone attack in Pakistan, four missiles were fired at a house in Eissu Khel village in the Mir Ali area of North Waziristan on Thursday morning.

According to local media, the house was completely destroyed in the attack and the identities of the victims are not known yet.

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

On January 7, eight people were killed in similar attacks in the village of Haiderkhel in the Miranshah district of North Waziristan. Sixteen people were also killed in a drone strike on South Waziristan the previous day.

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

In December, 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.

Moreover, the Lahore High Court urged the Pakistani government on November 3, 2012 to immediately respond to the group’s petition that had called for an end to US airstrikes.

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