Re: “Strong evidence” Pakistan military approved US drone strikes: UN report

The drone attacks are limited to FATA b/c FATA is defacto not under control of Pakistani govt. When you abdicate responsibility for your tribal territories & those regions are infested by global terrorists than you don’t get to complain about why they are being attack.

Pakistan’s Gilani acknowledges possibility of contact with U.S. over planned drone strikes - The Washington Post

Saeed Ghani, a Pakistani lawmaker, said he suspects that some U.S. drone strikes did have the tacit approval of government or military leaders here. But he said Sharif and other politicians are under tremendous pressure from the public to stop them.

I don’t think general public particularly in KP, Baluchistan and Sindh has any objection to these drones as long as they are targeting ‘maut ke saudagar’. Only TTP has objection to drones which has always been supported by Ganja Bratheran and IK to these ‘Maut ke saudagar’.
