Report: U.S. Drone Strikes Killed Just Two "High-Value" Targets in 2010 
------------------------------------------------------------------------



In Pakistan, at least seven people died in a suspected U.S. drone strike
along Pakistan's western border. It marked the first drone strike in
Pakistan in weeks. The Washington Post is reporting that the CIA
conducted a record 118 drone strikes in Pakistan last year. According to
independent sources, the strikes led to the deaths of at least 581
militants. Of those killed, only two of the militants killed appeared on
a U.S. list of "high-value" targets.
