At least three people have been killed and four others injured in a US assassination drone attack in Pakistan’s northwestern tribal region. According to AFP, on Monday, the pilotless aircraft fired two missiles on a house in Mir Ali area of North Waziristan tribal region near the Afghanistan border. Pakistani tribal regions are the target of US terror drones, with Washington claiming that its unmanned aircraft are targeting militants. However, casualty figures clearly indicate that Pakistani civilians are the main victims of the assaults. The killing of Pakistani civilians, including women and children, in the strikes has strained relations between Islamabad and Washington, prompting Pakistani officials to send warnings to the US administration over the assaults. Despite Pakistani government’s repeated calls on Washington to end the drone attacks, the US government continues its strikes on the tribal regions of the country.
