US Drone Strikes in Pakistan

Analysts believe Tuesday’s airstrike on a Pakistani tribal area has
strained relations between US and its front-state ally in the
war-on-terror. US drones have launched four attacks in the past two
months in Pakistani tribal areas claiming many lives. However, this
week’s attack that killed eleven soldiers and injured nine others
sparked great anger in Pakistan. From an Army Spokesman to the
country’s Prime Minister, nearly every leader has condemned the attack.
FSRN correspondent Rahman Ullah spoke with a Taliban fighter who was
injured in the attack who says that US drone fire first hit the
Pakistani security forces check post.
