NORTH WAZIRISTAN: At least four people were killed when a US drone targeted a house with missiles in North Waziristan early on Friday, Express News reported.
The drone fired missile at a house located in Ghulam Khan area of North Waziristan. The attack left at least four people dead.
On August 31, a US drone killed at least four militants in a missile strike targeting a compound in the village of Heso Khel around 35 kilometres (21 miles) east of Miranshah.
The Pakistani government has repeatedly protested against drone strikes as a violation of its sovereignty and there has been a decrease in their use.
During a visit to Islamabad at the start of August, US Secretary of State John Kerry suggested that drone strikes targeting Taliban and al Qaeda operatives in Pakistan could end “very soon” as the threat of militancy recedes.

Why cant Pak build its own 'police' drones to find and shoot down these 'outside' drones.
@Israeli Indian:
I thought all Pakistani's were Israeli Indians.
and when Imran Khan protests over this, they call him Taliban Khan.
Drones are much better than exploding terrorists
Pakistan has been losing his dignity and integrity. Drones attacks has been violating the sovereignty, dignity, international law and against the humanity. Such attack must be stopped and for any matter the US must need to discuss through UN and OIC. Pakistan must consider and learn from history either the US to be Foe or Friend, But not Master. We must respect and protect our land and people else the Pakistan will loss both State and Nation. Pakistan must stand for Justice. Long Live Pakistan and Afghanistan.
God bless these metallic angels in the sky
Govt of Pakistan please don't waste time in issuing a statement about the condemnation of drone strike and violation of sovereignty. I will read the last one issued couple of days ago.
Thanks USAF for making our homeland safer.
4 terrorists down, thousand(s) more to go.
Why does this government keep on protesting, don't they know that we know, they are in cahoots with the Americans like the last government did. Do they really think that people are stupid, hopefully. Some day it will come out too that PM Sharif is just like PM Jilani, remember what he said to the US ambassador in Islamabad. Pathetic politicians and totally untrustworthy.
