Chorus grows in Pakistan for strike against US assassination drones...

Many in Pakistan are demanding that the high courts order the government to shoot down the US assassination drones.

The newly elected members of Pakistan's parliament have also shown resentment against the US for the violations.

“The Obama administration has to back off because they should decide whether Pakistan is a friend or if Pakistan is a foe. If Pakistan is a friend of the United States of America, then the drone strikes must end. It is incumbent on the newly elected government of Pakistan to take a clear, principled, strong position on this issue,” said Mushahid Hussain, a member of Pakistan’s parliament.

The statement came following a petition filed in the Supreme Court of Pakistan on Tuesday that requests the federal government stop US drone attacks - which are a violation of Article 245 of the Constitution. More + video...
