Calling the attacks unacceptable, the ministry said drone strikes equal to violation of international law and Pakistan’s sovereignty.
At least 17 suspected militants were killed and more than 20 sustained injuries when a US drone fired missiles at a militants’ compound in the Bulandkhel area of Upper Orakzai Agency on October 11.
Whereas on October 10, a similar strike in North Waziristan killed five people.

@Solomon2 so what about the plane attacks on pentagon and world trade center from where the policies for covert operation all over the world is generating against the Muslims in the name of WoT..the difference is just on which extreme side you are on a continuum...its easy to say any thing to please the super power but the sole super power is who created us and know every thing about us with out any surveillance or spying devices ....
Great, 20 dead, justice served! This drone strike will ensure that no future incidents like Malala's shooting occur in the future. #durrfittaymuun!
Pakistan also lodged protest with Taliban shura on shooting of malaly and other innocent girls.We are having the worst govt in history.
Drone attackes has become a base of conflict between The United States and Pakistan .. the contention of counterproductve has been overlooked by The States time and time again. The fact is that drone strategy adopted by the United States has become a great hurld in the peace process.
Pakistan is worst victime of Afghan conflict,sacrifycing more than 43 thousands lives and sufferiing economic destruction with more than billions.
Being a neighoure of Afghanistan Pakistan has had to pay huge price during decad long war..
Past is witness,consisting on more than ten years proved that peace in Afghanistan is in the interest of The United States,Afghanistan,Pakistan and the region. Drones are not a solution ,on the contrary,increasing hatred among the allies.
Crocodile tears. The most worthy President of this country is on record, having told the Americans to carry on and that he does not care about co-lateral damage. The official policy of double faced deceit viz. private acceptance and public condemnation is nothing short of shameful. This is how the master servant relationship works. Oh yes does anybody even remember the unanimous resolution of our so-called sovereign Parliament?
I am a Pakistani and I support drones.
For Malala where can we lodge protests?
It is fine by me! I'd go along with anything----lesser evil is better and tolerable than the greater evil. Terrorism and these terrorists are greater threat for us and we must get them by any means necessary.
possible response from US: LOL!
Pakistan must protest that drone should be on daily bases!
Ms Khar during her month long US stay in US had proudly declared a 'better understanding're drones +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ So why the current misunderstanding?
"the ministry said drone strikes equal to violation of international law and Pakistan’s sovereignty."
The ministry should be aware that under UNSCR 1373 Pakistan has the binding sovereign obligation in international law to eliminate terrorists, terror-training camps, terror havens, and terror financing from its territory and that failure to do so nulls Pakistani sovereignty. Indeed, the citizens of Pakistan should be made aware of this as well.
And now Russia also supports that! +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Pakistan Russia bhai bhai.
