“I wasn’t scared of drones before, but now when they fly overhead I wonder, ‘Will I be next?’”
That is the question asked by 9-year-old Nabila Rehman, from northwest Pakistan whom the U.S. attempted to murder when attacking her innocent family.
Nabi' was injured in a drone attack a year ago, in her small village of Ghundi Kala. She saw her grandmother, Mamana Bibi, blown to pieces in the strike.
Her brother Zubair also was injured. Their case has become the latest to draw attention to the controversial targeted killing program that has become central to JSOC (Joint Special Operations Command)/Pres. Barack Obama’s foreign policy and global war-making.
“We really just have a very simple message to the USA: How do you justify killing a grandmother? How does that make anyone safer?” Mustafa Qadri posed the question on Democracy Now! Qadri authored a new Amnesty International report titled “‘Will I Be Next?’ U.S. Drone Strikes in Pakistan.”
Nabila and Zubair are unique among the growing number of drone-strike victims: They lived to appear before Congress, along with their father, Rafiq ur Rehman, to testify about the strike [war crime] and the devastation it has brought to their family. They are featured in a new documentary being released for free on the Internet this week, “Unmanned: America’s Drone Wars,” by Brave New Films. LISTEN
