The government again demanded that such strikes should cease immediately.
At least seven suspect militants were killed, and five others were injured, when a compound was targeted with missiles by a US drone in Wocha Darra of South Waziristan Thursday morning.
Five suspected militants were killed on the spot, and two others later succumbed to their injuries.

Why was Kerry not asked to stop the drone strikes? He was here a week ago. Another mute point is whenever a drone strike occurs, there always is a count of how many terrorists and innocent has been killed. But when the army strikes there is no mention of the casualties.
Why Pakistan continues to remain in denial even with its own people ?
Maybe the US should start with its border with Mexico before invading other countries.
Thanks
Does anyone else find it funny? Every now and then theres a drone attack and in no time we we see Pakistan's condemnation, like an acknowledgment: 'we saw it'. Grow some balls, either thanks the americans, or shoot them down if you think they're wrong.
I don't see anything wrong with it. Its helping in our cause to kill militants. This drone attack killed bunch of militants, and i as a citizen of pakistan i am happy with that. Drone attacks are effective way to execute the militants and pakistan should cooperate with US on this.
