US drone strike kills 10 people in NW Pakistan
At least ten people have been killed following yet another bombing of Pakistan's tribal belt in the northeast of the country by US assassination drones. ● According to local security sources, the US drones struck a compound and a vehicle at a small market in the town of Datta Khel near the Afghan border. The sources [conveniently] further identified the casualties from the drone attack as "militants" [civilians]. Washington claims the targets of the drone attacks are militants, but local officials and witnesses maintain that civilians have been the main victims of such raids over the past few years.
