Two Senior Pakistan security officials informed CBS that a U.S. drone attack killed Shaikh Fateh, or Sheikh Fateh, one of the members of al Qaeda. One of the two officials said it was a “major victory” in the campaign against the al Qaeda. The attack was on the border of Afghanistan and Pakistan, in Waziristan. The other official said that the leaders of this terrorist group, the al Qaeda, are feeling, or should be feeling badly penetrated by this drone attack. This attack has been a successful one for the U.S., but has raised the number of drone attacks in the area around the border of Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Some would believe this U.S. drone attack is a success for the fight against the al Qaeda. However, with that said, all these attacks that are occurring on the border of Afghanistan and Pakistan might not be such a good thing. Yeah if the U.S. military keeps beating down on the area, surely the al Qaeda will probably flee after a while; but what about any innocent bystanders? If the number of these drone attacks keep increasing, a lot of lives might be taken in which a big percent will be innocent people; families, mothers and children just walking back to their homes and then blown away from attacks from different people. Is it right to take the risk of killing many innocent lives with all these attacks to take out the group of terrorist? What if they flee and the U.S. keeps attacking without knowing they had already fled?
