Armed drones in Afghanistan flown from UK for first time

Armed drones in Afghanistan flown from UK for first time - Telegraph:
"Chris Nineham, vice-chairman of the Stop the War Coalition, claimed drones were being used to continue the "deeply unpopular War on Terror" with no public scrutiny.
Calling for armed drones to be banned, Mr Nineham said: "They're using them to fight wars behind our backs."
Until now, the drones have been operated by RAF pilots based in the USA Creech Air Force Base in Nevada.
They have flown some 45,000 hours in Afghanistan in the last six years and fired around 350 weapons."
THE FIRST DEMO IS IN LONDON AT 12.00 TODAY
