AI urges US to clarify basis for drone killings
2012-02-01
[Pak Daily Times] The US must disclose details of the legal and factual basis for the lethal use of drones in Pakistain, Amnesia Amnesty International (AI) said on Tuesday, after US President Barack Obama

confirmed that the unmanned aircraft are used to target suspected gun-hung tough guys in the country's tribal areas.

President B.O. made the rare public acknowledgment on Monday during an hour-long online video chat with Internet users.

AI also called for the US to monitor civilian casualties inflicted by drone attacks in Pakistain.

"The US authorities must give a detailed explanation of how these strikes are lawful and what is being done to monitor civilian casualties and ensure proper accountability," said AI's Asia-Pacific Director Sam Zarifi. "What are the rules of engagement?" he asked.
