Latter is available for free download at Amazon Kindle and looks at the matter from a purely Pakistani point of view. It is interesting how authors from two different parts of the world convey the same message that drones are fuelling terrorism.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17761913515980159828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5916640680794365241.post-11960119342965899302014-01-03T23:30:45.953+11:002014-01-03T23:30:45.953+11:00Totally agree.
