ISLAMABAD: Pakistan has been the main front in the drone war, but about 66 percent people in the country disapprove the US air strikes.
Only three percent approve the drone while the rest expressed no opinion, says the latest survey by the Washington-based Pew Research Centre. According to this survey, the drones have become widely unpopular across the world.
Out of the 44 countries surveyed for this study, 39 oppose US drone strikes targeting extremists. Israel, Kenya and the US are the only nations polled where at least half of the public supports them. Drones are unpopular even in India, where majorities in recent surveys supported strong military action against the militants.
But on the question of drones, those who disapprove the strikes, 36 percent, have an edge over those who approve them, 28 percent. INTERNEWS
