Or other unspecified NATO forces reportedly be carried out are listed in five attacks.
are very high in comparison. The new CIA director, John Brennan 'deliberate misrepresentation' claims to the contrary as described.
Pakistan's government and army private document CIA was supporting the campaign during the 2006-09 period, covers shows that the high civilian casualties had extensive internal knowledge.
'Drone attacks on Pakistan's position on many occasions the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, a spokesman for the Pakistani government opposes drone attacks, the bureau said. Drone attack a violation of our sovereignty and international law. It also has a negative impact on human rights and humanitarian. "
Was shown in the report by the Bureau of leaking a former political agent of North Waziristan who he exaggerated casualty figures will not believe it is.
"The authorities did not gain any" cooking the books "Here, this document clearly intended to be seen outside the civil administration was never since, recently in Pakistan's caretaker government serving Rauf Khan Khattak said.
Three separate sources
Leaked document - obtained from three separate sources the Bureau - Government officials from the media coverage is based on field reports. Bureau of attacks occur regularly updated document as it is know - a copy of the October 24 strike ends with 2009.
Fata for Secretariat - the political administration of the tribal areas - public release of the document was never intended for. Anyone is named after the victims, the Bureau published his paper to completely determine it is safe.
Read the full internal Pakistani document.
75 drone attacks killed 746 people listed, those killed at least 147 civilian victims should be clearly stated by the report are leaked. Some of them are said to be 94 children.
Document information often includes fresh attacks, a CIA September 2, 2008, attack target location and confirmed, for example, just prior to a U.S. intelligence document alluded.
Clinton released a paper noting that the exact location and provides casualty count:
Predator attack Bakhtawar Khan Daur, Mohammad Khel, Tehsil Datta Khel, Miranshah was at home. An injured.
According to former officials familiar with the process in this study fell within the data through a vast network of government contacts have been collated.
Such as North Waziristan tribal region, each administered by a political agent and his associates said. Property and killed them, and the loss of identity - these drone attacks occur when gathering information under the Tehsildar and naibs are known as agents. Local tribal police - and paid informants from villages Additional information taken from khassadar.
During the many years to cultivate comes from groundwater sources because "you end with these reports, it is reasonably accurate. And the only proper way PA is interested in understanding what really happened, "Rauf Khan Khattak, former officials said.
Key document
Historically, both U.S. and Pakistani officials 'secret' CIA's campaign to release casualty figures are smart.
However, in March, the UN special rapporteur Ben Emmerson QC - which is probing attacks - Pakistani officials killed in CIA drone attacks were civilians production estimates.
During the many years to cultivate comes from groundwater sources because what you end up with these reports, it is reasonably accurate. "

Under-reporting and investigation officials on land constraints due to effective data under estimates the civilian death toll was likely to indicate that.
Instead, U.S. intelligence the CIA recently rarely admits to civilian deaths in Pakistan, news agency leaked document obtained by McClatchy show.
noting is the private shows.
In January 2006, in a U.S. air strike on the village of Damadola, for example, officials noted: '05 05 women and children 6 mens [sic] all civilians, were killed. According to press reports at the time, between 10 and 18 civilians had died indicated.

No one was reported in the media, where four other occasions, tribal officials reported the deaths of private citizens.
14 June 2009, for example, tribal officials secretly a car in which three people were killed in an attack on a civilian pickup trucks had to identify. No Urdu and English language media have reported any civilian deaths.
Most controversially, tribal officials said 81 civilians, all the children had been described as one of them, a religious school in Bajaur Agency were killed in a drone attack that back in October 2006 Islamabad reported.
According to authorities, the men all civilian casualties '01 '80 children.was. FATA Secretariat also killed older children as students can be classified as gaps.
The earlier CIA drone attacks as well, Pakistan's military initially claimed it was responsible for the 2006 Bajaur strike. Word of civilian deaths began to emerge as the only militants were killed that day, it is claimed that, although the army reversed its position and denied carrying out the attack.
"
In June 2012, Pakistan's former President General Pervez Musharraf, told media reporter Jemima Khan ', she had all her children. They were absolutely wrong. I was attacked by some children, but some children were not at all possible, that all the militants were trained. "
Jemima Khan, associate editor of the British magazine New Statesman and Pakistani politician Imran Khan's ex-wife - who campaign vociferously against U.S. drone attacks.
"Did you kill 94 children were reported in only three years anywhere in the world will be for some other reason can imagine the chaos?" Ms Khan told the Bureau.
Ms Khan, the senior military and government officials knew or even privately, mortality declined in Bajaur were angered to learn that.
"This leaked document proves what many have suspected all along - U.S. and Pakistani politicians have been lying to us," he said.
Former officials leaked the document agree that it is most likely true: "You can not ruin such information. Children had not been killed, we would have told us that most people coming to us from Bajaur had 'FATA Rauf Khan Khattak, former agent confidence.
Unnamed Dead
Secret government documents are displayed, but they are some puzzling omissions.
Either as civilians or militants suspected or known - none of those killed are named in the document. The militant commander was killed even where - as a reference target - such as Baitullah Mehsud, who was killed in August 2009 Taliban Pakistan (TTP) chief as.
After President Obama took office, the reports of civilian deaths, for most of 2009 disappeared completely.
Authorities say the occasional "loss details are yet to be convinced. But many credible reports of civilian deaths are missing the note only because it is part.
Bureau's own research into civilian deaths credibly Obama's first year in office 53 CIA drone strikes have been reported in at least 17 shows.
The tribal officials in 2009 reported civilian deaths in only three cases.
With no indication of civilian deaths - 23 January this year, for example, a file that five people were killed in an attack in South Waziristan notice only.
However, a letter from South Waziristan political agency - civilians in conflict (right) acquired in 2010 by the Center for - Four civilians were killed in the attack clearly noted. President Obama the same day and informed of the attack, civilian death has been reported.
2008 for the year 2006, internal document more closely matches media reports of civilian deaths. The report cited the deaths of civilians almost completely disappeared after the election of Obama, why are measured against any public record, it is unclear.
"There is no documentation '
For 25 years between 1973 and 1998, a senior administrator in the tribal areas were Rustan ambassador Shah Mohmand, issued the warning file is not complete data available.
Pakistan's military has barred Citing security responsibility, he told the Bureau: 'tribal documents can offer a larger picture. But the accuracy of any release of military or political agents to choose from depending on the data. In the past eight years, for example, no exact casualty figures were never presented to Pakistan's Parliament. "
Rumors drone attacks inside Pakistani documents detailing casualties have been circulating for several months. Peshawar High Court Dost Mohammad Khan, Chief Justice of the FATA Secretariat to release casualty figures have started calling her place in the mid 2012.
Khan brought by the Foundation for Fundamental Rights against CIA presided over a successful civil case. In August 2012, an official at the CIA, 2008 attacks with limited information presented in court, even though at first glance tribal officials, claimed that there is no such internal documents.
Rumors drone attacks inside Pakistani documents detailing casualties have been circulating for several months. "
In its final decision, Chief Justice Khan, FATA 'political officer' of 896 civilians in South Waziristan, with 533 civilian deaths, between 2007 and 2012 in North Waziristan were killed by CIA .
"How come the only government employees FATA Secretariat Peshawar High Court and one for data and data types are feeding one type? ' Shahzad Akbar, the charity behind Peshawar Case reprieve and a law partner asked the barrister. They are fudging numbers based on what was on the receiving end? "
declined to comment on details.
