The recent drone attack that reportedly killed
Al-Qaeda leader Abu Hafs al-Shahri in Waziristan is the latest result of
a Central Intelligence Agency campaign that began in 2004. Pakistan has
protested against U.S. drone attacks, considering them a violation of
its sovereignty.
Such protests have been ineffective. Strikes by the pilotless predators have increased since President Barack Obama took office in 2008. The United States considers them so effective that it is seeking a further expansion of drone operations in Pakistan, "The Washington Post" reported.
