Drone strikes help recruit jihadists?



Drone strikes have been responsible for the deaths of several high level members of al-Qaeda but additionally have killed countless civilians including women and children. In turn the drone strikes have served as one of the top recruiting tools for militants. Pakistan's ambassador to the US said her country will continue to demand that the CIA put an end to it's drone strikes.
