MIRANSHAH, Pakistan, March 30 (Reuters) - A U.S. drone strike killed four suspected militants and wounded three others on Friday in Pakistan's North Waziristan tribal region near the Afghanistan border, intelligence officials and militants said.
The remotely piloted aircraft targeted a residential compound used by foreign militants in Miranshah, the main town in North Waziristan, a Pakistan Taliban commander told Reuters.
"All of those killed and injured in this attack were Arab, they belonged to some Arab country," the commander said.
Intelligence officials, however, said they did not have details on the identities or nationalities of the suspected militants.
The controversial drone program, a key element in U.S. counter-terrorism efforts, is highly unpopular in Pakistan, where it is considered a violation of sovereignty with many civilian casualties.
The United States says the strikes in Pakistan's unruly northwestern tribal regions along Afghanistan border are very accurate and there is minimal collateral damage.
Several militant groups have strongholds in the area, and often take advantage of the porous frontier to launch cross-border attacks on NATO and Afghan forces.
A Pakistani parliamentary committee recently demanded an end to drone strikes on Pakistani territory as part of its recommendations for a new direction of ties with Washington.

^^ just focus on your emaan and keep on helping the poor and the needy (that's the majority of Pakistanis so lots of opportunity), that is one way of doing dawah.
I honestly dont really talk to all these pseudo-intellectual journalists and ppl on media from pak ... their hearts are sealed and eyes blind. They wont listen to me cuz even though I dont look like a mullah, they look at me as a mullah, just because I condemn all that they stand for.

keep on doing more, maybe get involved at grass roots level with various dawah organizations at universities, provided its safe and sharii. this is something I really wish I had done back in uni days.
if we have goons like altaf hussain and nadeem f paracha, who start in similar way, and can influence public opinion, why not us?
