U.N.: Drone Strikes by U.S. Violate Pakistani Sovereignty 
----------------------------------------------------------


 
The head of a United Nations team probing U.S. drone attacks has said
the strikes are violating Pakistani sovereignty. The U.N. special
rapporteur on human rights and counterterrorism, Ben Emmerson, said the
Pakistani government has not consented to the strikes. He said Pakistani
officials told him at least 400 civilians have been confirmed killed by
U.S. drones.
