Pakistan protested the latest U.S. missile strike on targets near its border with Afghanistan, saying the Central Intelligence Agency’s use of drone aircraft has become “a core irritant” in the war against militants.
“These attacks are creating a lot of problems for us,” Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani said late yesterday during a speech in the National Assembly. “The U.S. will have to stop these attacks. We are trying through our common friends to convince them.”
