A new study estimates U.S. drone strikes killed 957 people in Pakistan last year. It is unknown how many of the dead were civilians. The chair of the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan, I.A. Rehman, called for an end to the attacks.
I.A. Rehman: “We have our reservation on drone strikes, because, whatever their people may say, there is a great danger of innocent people being killed, and we do not approve of this method. We have quoted a U.N. rapporteur’s finding on that, and we stand by that.”
