A Washington-based think tank says that US drone attacks have killed over 1200 people in Pakistan over the past six years.

In a report issued on Tuesday, the New American Foundation said that the US military has launched 114 airstrikes in Pakistan since 2004 and stated that one third of the people who have been killed were Pakistani civilians.

However, the US military claims that the airstrikes target militants.

The attacks have been roundly condemned by both Pakistani citizens and the national government
