Obama victory infuriates Pakistani drone victims
 [Dawn] The roars celebrating the re-election of US President Barack ObamaRepublicans can come along for the ride, but they've got to sit in the back... on television give Mohammad Rehman Khan a searing headache, as years of grief and anger come rushing back. The 28-year-old Pak accuses the president of robbing him of his father, three brothers and a nephew, all killed in a dronezap  a month after Obama first took office."The same person who attacked my home has gotten re-elected," he told Rooters in the capital, Islamabad, where he fled after the attack on his village in South Wazoo, one of several tribal areas near the Afghan border. "Since yesterday, the pressure on my brain has increased. I remember all of the pain again." In his re-election campaign, Obama gave no indication he would halt or alter the drone program, which he embraced in his first term to kill Al Qaeda and Talibs in Pakistain and Afghanistan without risking American lives.
