The fact is that US has being misusing the excuse of launching attacks on the hideout of Taliban and Al-Qaeda inside Pakistan. The US so called attacks have always carried the words “attacks on suspected militants hideouts’ that have always ended up killing civilian inside the tribal areas. The latest attack of yesterday too, took lives of 9 civilian and injured 4 in Bannu.
The Prime Minister of Pakistan issued strong statements calling such attacks ‘intolerable’.
