Permalink US drone strike kills 8 in Pakistan

A non-UN-sanctioned US drone strike has claimed the lives of at least eight people and left four others wounded in Pakistan's northwestern tribal area of North Waziristan, local security forces reported.

The incident occurred on Thursday morning when a US drone aircraft fired missiles at a vehicle in the Datta Khel area, near the border with Afghanistan, a Press TV correspondent reported. The United States frequently carries out such attacks on Pakistan's tribal areas. The aerial attacks, initiated by former Republican US President George W. Bush, have escalated under Democratic President Barack Obama, who had earlier promised major changes in the American militaristic policies. The United States claims that the air raids target Pakistani militants, but Pakistani officials say many civilians are also killed in the attacks. Pakistani sources have stated that the US drone strikes kill 50 civilians for every one militant. Islamabad has frequently slammed the United States over the drone attacks, saying they violate its sovereignty.
