At Least 28 Killed in Latest Series of US Drone Strikes Against Pakistan
Panic as Drones Continue to Loom Over Area
by Jason Ditz, September 21, 2010

Pakistan’s remote tribal agencies of North and South Waziristan are in a state 
of virtual panic tonight as US drones continue to loom in the air and three 
attacks against separate towns across the region killed at least 28 people and 
wounded an unknown number of others.

Officials have so far failed to identify any of the targets of the attacks, but 
reports from the ground suggest that one of the US drones attacked a funeral 
procession that was carried out for people killed in a previous attack.

Reports suggested that the targets hit were related to one of the militant 
factions which has an existing ceasefire with the Pakistani government, and it 
does not appear that any of the victims of the attacks were “high value” targets.

The Obama Administration has dramatically escalated the number of attacks in 
recent weeks, and has launched an average of about an attack every day so far 
this month. None of those prior attacks killed any confirmed militants, but a 
number of children were confirmed killed in several recent strikes.
