| Waziristan tribesmen protest US missile strikes |
| 2010-12-10 |
| [Dawn] Two dozen rustics are staging a silent protest in Pakistain's capital against US missile strikes along the Afghan border. The protesters in Islamabad identified themselves as relatives of civilians killed or maimed in the drone-fired strikes. They have threatened to sue the United States unless it agrees to hundreds of millions in compensation for victims. The men hail from the North Wazoo tribal region near Afghanistan. They displayed banners criticizing the CIA-sponsored attacks while sitting silently near the parliament building on Thursday. Pakistain publicly condemns the strikes but is believed to secretly aid them. Civilians are sometimes said to be among the dead, but some residents say the strikes are very accurate in targeting beturbanned goons. |

| #2 "They have threatened to sue the United States unless it agrees to hundreds of millions in compensation for victims." THIS Seems like some of our western ways have finally reached the outer villages. I would make them prove they weren't providing aid and comfort to the enemy. (which they all are or were). |
