Report claims inhumane US drones killed civilians

US officials slammed the London-based Bureau of Investigative Journalism reports finding that there had been many more CIA attacks on alleged militant targets and far more civilian deaths than previously reported.The report said that bombing raids by unmanned aircraft, designed to target Al-Qaeda and Taliban militants, had killed up to 168 children in Pakistan over the last seven years.The London-based group said 291 CIA drone strikes had taken place in Pakistan since 2004, eight percent more than previously reported, and that under President Barack Obama there had been 236 -- one every four days.But the official said the reports numbers had not been confirmed.Credible reports of civilian deaths are taken into account, period. If large numbers of innocent people were being killed, the Pakistanis wouldnt stand for it. Neither would we. Thats the reality, the official said.
