WASHINGTON: The CIA's targeted killing program in Pakistan, once the mainstay of President Barack Obama's counterterrorism effort, is winding down.

Because of stricter rules, diplomatic sensitivities and the changing nature of the al Qaeda threat, there hasn't been a US drone strike in Pakistan's tribal areas since Christmas. And American officials say opportunities for drone attacks will dwindle further as the CIA and the military draw down in neighboring Afghanistan, reducing their intelligence-gathering footprint.

“The program (in Pakistan) appears to have ended,” said Peter Bergen, who has closely studied drone strikes for the New America Foundation, a Washington think tank.

US officials won't go that far, but Obama announced this week a plan to pull nearly all American troops out of Afghanistan by the end of 2016.

The targeted killing program in Pakistan relies on drones flown from, and intelligence gathered in, US bases in Afghanistan that would then be closed.

Well on one side no innocent civilians will get killed is a good news and terrorists won't get killed and will continue to carry on their terrorism is a bad news. And one way or other these terrorists will eventually target civilians. So overall it's bad news.

I do not know whether this is a good news or Bad news!!!

Contradictory reports.....

Drone strikes on terrorists to continue: Barack Obama - The Times of India

but then,probably,as US is sending its soldiers home and will maintain "Few Thousands" of soldiers for training,decision making etc,the requirement of striking deep in Pakistan may be over.as ANA is ready,they'll plug the gaps and Pakistan(hopefully) eliminate extremists at their side(at Tribal Region and others).also,the front against terror changed.Terrorists are not that much active once it was in AFghanistan-Pakistan border.its been months since any massive terror strike has happened in Afghanistan,which was common even few years ago.

another false promise like the billions of aid yankees promised but ultimately gives pittance :rofl:
 
.
killing of innocent life is not good news. people with sick ideologies who are the high ranking decision makers in military and secret unintelligence should rather be destroyed. leave the civilians alone.

Drones inflicted significant losses on the Taliban and other armed groups operating in northwest Pakistan. Many senior armed group leaders like al- qaida Abu Yahya alLibi and Taliban’s wali-Ur rehman Mehsud have been killed in drone strikes carried out in North Waziristan. While parts of the tribal agency serve as a base for insurgent operations but they are also
home to around 840,000 people who face the constant fear of being killed by armed groups, the Pakistan armed forces or US drone strikes. Its actually collateral damage or death of civilians resulted by drones or military operations is the sad part

very sad. due to these political and so called religious lunatics the innocent suffer
 
.
The reason is that since Pakistan has started producing armed drones, now are doing it by ourselves.

dont mean to be rude on this. its hard to believe that pakistan as a nation is capable of building effective drones. they rely heavily on foreign player like china or russia to stock their arsenal. maybe i got that wrong? and for finance they rely a lot on the arabs to whom pakistan claims brotherhood.
