Drone attacks could stop within a day if Pakistan wants: US Congressman

Member US House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee Congressman Alan Grayson has said that drone strikes in Pakistan could stop within a day if the country intends to do so.
Alan Grayson said that drone attacks in Pakistan’s territory "could end tomorrow" if it wanted and stopped facilitating the US strikes.
Moreover, he said Pakistan's armed forces were capable of tackling militants and that in such a situation the US should not have blood on its hands.
He added that there were only a handful militants in the country, whose numbers hardly run into hundreds, whereas the strength of Pakistan's military was more than a million.
Grayson was of the view that heirs of the innocent victims of drone attacks should receive compensation from the United States.
