Let Pakistan operate the drones: Shuja
WASHINGTON: United States needs to find a way to allow Pakistan to manage drone operations inside its borders, Pakistan Army veteran and military historian Shuja Nawaz has argued. Fears about transferring sensitive technology to Pakistan could be addressed by joint operations of drones from Pakistani bases. The US and Pakistani handlers could fly the drones carrying Pakistani markings and be responsible for their upkeep. If Pakistan called the shots for actions against foreign militants, they would better be able to eliminate civilian damage. The US and Pakistan should also end their reimbursement-for-FATA mobilisation, Nawaz suggested. The $10 billion paid were often used as a political stick to beat Pakistan during discussions of aid to the country. daily times monitor
