US censures report on drone casualties. Possibly up to 168 children have been killed in drone strikes in Pakistan

Officials reject independent UK study's finding that up to 168 children have been killed in drone strikes in Pakistan.

The report said that bombing raids by unmanned aircraft had killed up to 168 children in Pakistan over the last seven years.
