| 2013-10-26 |
| [Dawn] While not denying explicitly that the previous government had endorsed drone attacks by the US, the Foreign Office on Thursday chose to speak only about the current administration, saying the government's stance against drone attacks was very clear. "Whatever understandings there may or may not have been in the past, the present government has been very clear regarding its policy on the issue," Foreign Office front man Aizaz Chaudhry said while responding to a question regarding a Washington Post report that Pakistain government had been on board with regard to drone attacks, at least during the four-year period from 2007 to 2011. The Post report said secret diplomatic memos and CIA documents leaked to it suggested a "secret arrangement" between the two countries on drone attacks. |
