Repeated U.S. drone strikes could spark another round of terrorist attacks in Pakistan

ISLAMABAD, Sept. 26 (Xinhua) --

At least nine people were killed and another two injured in three U.S. drone strikes
launched on Sunday evening in Pakistan's northwest tribal area of North Waziristan,
reported local media.

The third strike launched by U.S. drones on Sunday evening counts for the eighth of its kind over the past week.
Starting from last Sunday, the U.S. drones have apparently stepped up its strike
against the militants hiding in Pakistan's northwest tribal areas of North Waziristan and South Waziristan.
So far over 40 people including some important militant leaders have reportedly been killed in the strikes since last Sunday.

The so-called precision strikes of the U.S. drones against militants have also mistakenly killed many other innocent people.
There are reports saying that the death ratio of militants killed against civilians in such strikes stands at about 1 against 25,
leading to a strong anti-American sentiment in the country.
