Qureshi told journalists before flying to the federal capital that US drone attacks were affecting Pakistan?s sovereignty, and clarified that the drones were not being flown from bases inside Pakistan. He said Pakistan had always condemned the drone attacks over which no understanding or agreement existed.
Qureshi said Pakistan had taken up the issue during a recent visit by the US special envoy, Richard Holbrooke, and conveyed the administration?s concern over the attacks. The foreign minister said the drone attacks were causing collateral damage and proving to be counter-productive."
