Hundreds of Pakistani protesters and activists have begun a two-day sit-in against US assassination drones.

Tribesmen from North Waziristan’s tribal region also joined the sit-in in front of the parliament building in Islamabad, demanding the Pakistani government to end its alliance with the US in the so-called war on terror.

The tribesmen set up a camp near the parliament house.

According to US media reports, the CIA has received ordered to expand its drone attacks and target what's been described as the rank and file of the militants.

The US claims that the assassination drones are used against local militants, but locals say civilians are the main victims.
