ISPR denies Army Chief asked US for drone help !!

[Last Hope]

ISLAMABAD: A spokesman of ISPR on Friday rejected a report published on 20 May 2011 captioned “Army Chief wanted more drone support in year 2008”, DawnNews reported.

The spokesman said that in the past, there has only been sharing of technical intelligence in some areas. No armed drone attack support has ever been asked for operations which have been conducted using own resources, he stated.

He further clarified that during the Swat-Malakand Operation Rah-e-Rast in 2008-09, and South Waziristan Agency operation Rah-e-Nijat in 2009-10, outside technical support was not even asked for. These operations were jointly conducted by Pakistan Army and Pakistan Air Force, the spokesman concluded.

ISPR is just a propaganda tool to white wash the blunders of military elites.

and we all know that drone attacks happen duly because of the establishment and government's commitment to the WOT...
