CIA’s drone campaign in Pakistan has reportedly been targeting civilians involved in rescuing victims or attending funerals, an investigation report revealed.

According to the investigation carried out by the Bureau of Investigative Journalism for the Sunday Times, drones not only targeted militants but also civilians who had gone to help the victims targeted by the drones.

Earlier, Pakistan had acknowledged ‘tactical advantages’ to US drone strikes on the Taliban and al Qaeda, but appeared to shrug off the unexpected confirmation by Washington of attacks on its soil.
