“Pakistan’s military and the civilian government publicly complain that the U.S. strikes infringe the country’s sovereignty and cause civilian casualties. But while the government declared a national day of protests over a blasphemous film last month, it had never called for such a protest over the drone strikes. Khan, who blames the government for allowing the U.S. to operate in the country, had planned to lead the protest from the capital into South Waziristan, a tribal area frequently hit by the drone strikes. But authorities blocked the protesters’ path with shipping containers on the highway.”
