Pakistan’s parliament has unanimously demanded an end to U.S. drone strikes on Pakistani soil. In a resolution adopted by all 440 members, the parliament called for an end to the drone attacks as well as a ban on all private military contractors and intelligence operatives working inside Pakistan. Pakistan has continued to tacitly allow drone strikes despite previous votes along similar lines. But on Thursday, Pakistani Prime Minister Yousaf Gilani vowed to implement the new measure “both in letter and spirit.”
