Pakistan: 67 Civilians Have Been Killed By Drones Since 2008

Independent organizations think the number is higher

Pakistan has said 67 civilians died in US drones strikes in the country since 2008, a figure much lower than estimates by independent organisations.

It said 317 US drone strikes killed 2,160 militants in Pakistan in the same period.

The Pakistani Defence Ministry provided the figure on Wednesday in a written response to the Senate.
