ISLAMABAD: The US has opted to shift its drone bases of operation from Pakistan to Afghanistan, sources told Arab News.
According to the Arab News sources, the decision by the US came as domestic pressure in Pakistan gained momentum against presence of the bases in the country.
Defense Minister Chaudhry Ahmed Mukhtar's remarks on Wednesday that the US had been asked to vacate Shamsi Air Base.
According to the sources, the CIA, which has been using Shamsi Air Base in Pakistan since 2004, had to develop other sources, largely based in Afghanistan, to carry out its drone operations targeting al Qaeda and its affiliates.
