Islamabad - Two separate missile strikes by unmanned U.S spy planes in northwestern Pakistan have killed at least 45
people. A similar attack earlier in the same area, which borders Afghanistan, had left at least 14
dead. The first strike took place before dawn and it hit a training camp. The second attack came hours later when several missiles targeted a large group of fighters traveling in another part of the border
region.

Leaders in Islamabad have opposed U.S drone attacks on their soil, saying large numbers of civilian deaths in such strikes are fueling public
anger. "We do consider them [U.S drone attacks] as violation of our sovereignty",
they said. The
strikes forced hundreds of thousands of residents from their
homes.
