ISLAMABAD: Chief of Army Staff General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani on Thursday strongly condemned a US drone strike in tribal region which officials said killed 35 people, the military said.
Civilians and police were among those killed when missiles fired by a drone ploughed into a compound in Datta Khel town, the main town in tribal North Waziristan.
"COAS, Kayani, strongly condemns the Predator strike carried out today in North Waziristan resulting into loss of innocent lives," the military said in a statement.
"It is highly regrettable that a jirga of peaceful citizens including elders of the area was carelessly and callously targeted with complete disregard to human life." he said
