Thousands rally against US drone strikes in Pakistan
Thousands of right-wing Pakistani activists led by
cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan on Saturday staged a protest against US
drone strikes, threatening to block NATO supply routes if strikes continue. The
activists burned US flags as a mark of protest. The rally was jointly organised
by Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) party, together Islamic party
Jamaat-e-Islami and local party Awami Jamhoori Itehad. Khan accuses the United
States of using a drone strike to kill Taliban chief Hakimullah Mehsud as part
of an effort to sabotage potential peace talks in Pakistan.
