On March 17, 2011, a US CIA drone strike killed over 40 people in Pakistan who were attending a peaceful commercial dispute council meeting. Drones are unmanned aircraft controlled remotely that carry cameras, intelligence software, and missiles. Drone strikes have resulted in over 3,000 casualties in the last 10 years, including the killing of 22% civilians and less than 2% high-priority targets. This has increased terrorism and caused many social problems. There is debate between those who support continued drone use for national security and those who oppose it due to the human rights and civilian safety issues raised. Proposed solutions include increasing transparency, ending foreign drone strikes, or continuing strikes against terrorists.
