Extra judicial killing.
Consider this your fair trial, sentence and execution... you suspected militant! WOW! and this comes from the so called country who abides by human rights.
@Ansari: If they're wrong it means it hit a supporter.
Interesting, of all the anti Pakistan fighters in South Waziristan....US choose to target one who is pro Pakistan. Should make US intentions clear by now.
BTW: Where are those hi-fi inbuilt missiles ?
Even "suspected millitants" were killed. so they were "suspected", and its enough a reason to kill them? what if your suspicsions are wrong,
How come everyone dies in Drone attacks is labelled as "millitant"? what about those children and women who are killed when drones attacks occur on houses?
I think we are missing the basic question, why these militants are fighting the US? They should get out of Pakistan if they want to plot against the US. We have brought the wrath of the strongest and most innovative nation on earth upon us somehow thinking we can fight them back. Their military budget can buy half of the world. Be realistic you cannot fight them with slogans, Saddam did the same. I don't see that the US will ever stop.
"Even after the drone attack, the military planes kept circling the area, spreading intense fear amongst locals."
or in other words "shoot me down, I dare you."
So is PAK back to work with US?
