approved an increase in CIA drone strikes in Pakistain's territory on the same pretext, according to a report published in the LA Times, DawnNews reported.

The US has been mounting pressure on Pakistain to take effective action against the Haqqani network and snuffies in the South Wazoo region.

A US-based newspaper claimed that the B.O. regime frustrated with Pakistain, over its hesitance to take action against the Haqqani network, suspension of NATO supply routes and refusal to conduct an operation against snuffies in the South Waziristan region, has decided to direct the CIA to step up the drone strikes in Pakistain's territory.

The CIA has launched eight Predator drone attacks since the May 20-21 NATO summit in Chicago.

It is noteworthy that the US has yet to declare the Haqqani network as a terrorist organization, itself.
