U.S. Drone Strikes Kill 13 in Pakistan 
---------------------------------------


 
At least 13 people were killed over the weekend in three separate U.S.
drone attacks inside Pakistan. The attacks came as Pakistanis celebrated
the end of the holy Muslim month of Ramadan. The United States says its
drone strikes target militants, but the Obama administration’s policy
is to deem all adult-male victims as militants unless exculpatory
evidence emerges after their deaths.
