In Pakistan, at least six people were killed Wednesday in a U.S. drone strike against alleged Taliban militants. The attack came just two days after the Pakistani government requested that the CIA limit the drone attacks and also provide a complete list of CIA employees and contractors in Pakistan. The strikes are the first since a mid-March bombing that reportedly killed scores of civilians. Speaking before parliament, Pakistani Prime Minister Yousaf Gilani condemned the attacks.
Pakistani Prime Minister Yousaf Gilani: “We are persuading them that these drone attacks are creating problems for us. You convince them (the Americans), and we are also telling them that it is making our work difficult. I want to assure you that this diplomatic channel is putting pressure on them (the Americans), and they will be compelled to end this (drone attacks).”
