Speaking at the weekly media briefing at the Foreign Office in Islamabad, spokeswoman Tasneem Aslam said Pakistan's view on drone attacks was clear - to put an end to them.

She added that the method was unacceptable and Pakistan's stance on the issue had also received support from the international community, Dawn News reports.
