Secret US documents have revealed that senior Pakistani government officials have, for years, endorsed CIA drone strikes.
According to the Washington post, briefing reports for CIA drone attacks were prepared specifically for Pakistani officials, suggesting that Pakistan’s government were tacitly approving such strikes.
Responding to the allegations, the spokesperson for Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry, Aizaz Ahmad Chaudry, said
“Whatever understandings there may or may not have been in the past, the present government has been very clear regarding its policy on the issue. We regard such strikes as a violation of our sovereignty as well as international law.”
