Obama's drone death defence struck down by Pakistani PM (VIDEO)







Pakistan sworn in its newly elected Prime minister for his third non-consecutive term.

Minutes after securing his election victory last month, Nawaz Sharif called on the US to end drone strikes in his country - dubbed by the high court as a blatant violation of Pakistan's sovereignty.

Nevertheless in a recent speech on national security, US President Obama defended drone strikes as a justified means in the war on terror.

Chris Woods from the Center for Investigative Journalism believes "Whether the Pakistani government likes it or not, and the new prime minister says he doesn't like it, I think we are going to see those strikes carry on."
