Hundreds of tribesmen on Friday rallied to demand an end to US drone attacks which they said were killing innocent people in the tribal areas, witnesses said. More than 1,000 protesters staged the demonstration in Miranshah, shouting slogans against the United States and its Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), responsible for the missile attacks.
"Killer, killer, CIA killer", "Stop drone attacks" and "America's friends are traitors," shouted the crowd. Addressing Friday's rally, a member of a local political committee, Sarfraz Khan, denounced the drone attacks for killing innocent people including women and children, and said that if it did not stop he would launch a long march to Islamabad in protest.
