Drone attacks issue to be taken up with US: Malik
LAHORE: US drone attacks in the Tribal Areas are being carried out without Pakistan’s consent and the matter will be taken up with Washington during bilateral discussions, Interior Minister Rehman Malik said on Thursday. Talking to reporters at the Lahore High Court where he appeared in connection with the hearing of his appeals against an accountability court’s conviction, Malik said the US was committed to provide drone technology to Pakistan. He said the government had successfully curbed terrorism and success had been achieved in stabilising the security situation in the country. To a question about the recent blasts in Lahore, he said no one should accuse foreigners for such incidents without evidence, adding that probe into the incident was underway and a report would come out soon. staff report
