Pakistan renews complaints over missile strike
Posted: 06:10 AM ET
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (CNN) — Pakistan’s foreign ministry summoned U.S. Ambassador Anne Patterson on Thursday to lodge a formal protest against another suspected U.S. missile strike on its territory, an act the country’s prime minister called a violation of his nation’s sovereignty.

The strike in the Bannu region of Pakistan’s North West Frontier province left five dead and seven wounded Wednesday and was deeper inside Pakistani territory than previous attacks.

The attack was the third suspected U.S. strike on Pakistani soil in November and the first to hit outside the tribal districts. At least three non-Pakistanis were believed to be living at the home that was the target of the raid, local official Abdul Hameed, told CNN.

Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani took to the floor of the parliament and renewed his condemnation of the attacks Thursday, saying they violate Pakistan’s sovereignty.
Pakistan’s government says the attacks cost lives and undermine public support for its counter-terrorism efforts.
