MIRANSHAH: Hundreds of tribesmen on Friday rallied to demand an end to US drone attacks which they said were killing innocent people in the tribal areas, witnesses said.

More than 1,000 protesters staged the demonstration in Miranshah, the main town in North Waziristan district, shouting slogans against the United States and its Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), responsible for the missile attacks.

“Killer, killer, CIA killer”, “Stop drone attacks” and “America’s friends are traitors,” shouted the crowd.

The United States does not confirm drone attacks, but its military and the Central Intelligence Agency operating in Afghanistan are the only forces that deploy the unmanned aircraft in the region.

In 2010 the campaign doubled missile attacks in the tribal area with around 100 drone strikes killing more than 650 people, according to an AFP tally.

Addressing Friday’s rally, a member of a local political committee, Sarfraz Khan, denounced the drone attacks for killing innocent people including women and children, and said that if it did not stop he would launch a long march to Islamabad in protest.

Washington says wiping out the militant threat in Pakistan’s semi-autonomous tribal belt is crucial to winning the nine-year war against the Taliban in Afghanistan and defeating al Qaeda.

Militant networks in North Waziristan are accused of escalating the nine-year war in Afghanistan and US officials want Pakistan to launch a ground offensive in the district to limit the militancy threat.

Pakistan tacitly co-operates with the bombing campaign, which US officials believe has severely weakened al Qaeda’s leadership, but has stalled on launching a ground offensive in North Waziristan, saying its troops are overstretched.

What else they can do :(

Their love for Pakistan will not allow them to follow on the footstep of TTP..

I wonder how they feel, No Air Force is coming to protect them, No Army is there to defend them, their Children are being killed :(

I really feel, COAS should take some action or as the Tribal people respect Pakistan Army so much, sooner or later, PA's reputation will get effected too :(

May ALLAH have mercy on us all!

:pakistan:

If we start doing it, media pressure will deprove our already 'great' name as a terrorist nation. :angry:
The USA can do anything, you dont know Uncle Sam.
We arent ready for a war.

With how many countries will we fight at once?
Israel, India, Russia and USA would be on one side (Surely, Indirectly and directly) whereas China will be our indirect ally.

Having some looks at it, if the arabian countries stay loyal, they would come for aid fighting with Israel like they once did in vain.

This would create a possible World War or a Nuclear war.
Reason: Reply to american drone attacks!?

This is so lame, they have got no right killing our people, on our land!

Regards.
