Pakistani Senator Mohammad Saleh Shah from Waziristan stands with civil rights activists during a protest in front of the parliament in Islamabad on April 20, 2009 against the US drone attacks in semi-autonomous Waziristan. Pakistan helicopter gunships raided suspected militant hideouts near the Afghan border killing 20 insurgents and destroying their positions, a military official said. The semi-autonomous South Waziristan is a stronghold of Pakistan’s top Taliban commander, Baitullah Mehsud, who recently threatened to avenge missile strikes with attacks across the country and in the United States.
