U.S. drone kills 5 in Pakistan & 29 in Somalia
At least five people have been killed and at least three have been injured in a U.S. drone strike in the Pakistani region of North Waziristan late Tuesday night. A drone attack also claimed the lives of 29 in eastern Somalia & destroyed at least three al-Shabab bases.
Unnamed officials say the victims were militants, but the Obama administration’s criteria are so expansive they could include any adult male in a war zone — unless proven otherwise after death.
The United Nations & Amnesty International have both condemned U.S. drones as unlawful & said they raise serious questions about human rights violations in Somalia, Yemen, Pakistan, Libya, Afghanistan & Iraq.
