Drones and the Future of Counterterrorism in Pakistan
Mon, June 10th, 2013
Washington, DC
The future use of drones in Pakistan is uncertain after President Obama’s recent speech on national security. Washington has now satisfied some of the demands of Pakistan’s Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. But while drone strikes were seen in Islamabad as a violation of the country’s sovereignty, they were also arguably an effective counterterrorism mechanism. Samina Ahmed discussed the future use of drones in Pakistan. Frederic Grare moderated.
