Foreign Office Spokesman said Pakistan has consistently maintained that these illegal attacks are a violation of its sovereignty and territorial integrity‚ and are in contravention of international law.He said it is our considered view that the strategic disadvantages of such attacks far outweigh their tactical advantages‚ and are therefore‚ totally counterproductive.Earlier today, an American drone fired a volley of missiles into a house in North Waziristan, killing 10 people and indicating U.S. resolve to continue with the attacks despite renewed Pakistani opposition.
