1200 Dead In US Drone Strikes This Year

There has been another increase in the US drone strikes in North Waziristan after a meaningful silence of some time. Four people were killed on Monday 22nd August in the latest missile attack by the CIA-operated unmanned air vehicle (UAV) on a house in Sheenpond village of Mir Ali subdivision situated on the border with Afghanistan's Khost province.
Residents said the four slain men were local tribesmen. Their bodies were damaged beyond recognition. It was the 43rd attack by the US drones this year in North Waziristan. More than 1200 people had reportedly been killed and many other were injured. Most of the injured have become disabled.
On Tuesday, around eight US spy planes were seen flying over various villages in Miramshah, Mir Ali and Dattakhel subdivisions of North Waziristan tribal region.
In some of the villages, the tribesmen complained they were performing their Isha prayers and Taraveeh in fear and tension due to the constant flying of drones over their villages and towns.
