'One in four US drone deaths in Pakistan are civilian', report suggests as Washington and London face growing pressure to cut programmes | Mail Online
"one monitoring organisation, The Bureau of Investigative Journalism, thinks the deadliest attacks were in Pakistan, and claims 3,091 were killed since 2004, with 22 per cent of deaths – just over 680 – those of civilians.
America has sought to play down the ‘collateral damage' of the drone strikes in Pakistan's regions bordering Afghanistan where Al Qaeda terrorists have sought refuge.
Pakistani officials say innocent civilians were killed daily."
