US Accused Of Unlawful Killings In Pakistan Drone Strikes -- Voice of America
ISLAMABAD — The international human rights group Amnesty International said in a report released Tuesday that the United States “appears to have committed very serious” human rights violations with its drone program in Pakistan, some of which could even amount to war crimes.
