The MIC: UK starts drone attacks from home soil
Nargess Moballeghi: The City of Lincoln in the north of England. Scenic. Suburban. And
suddenly a hub for Britain's imperial war of terror. This week the government
announced that it's now conducting drone attacks on Afghanistan from the
base behind me - RAF Waddington - where 100 assassins are manning the
hi-tech reaper drones carrying 500lb bombs and hellfire missiles. In
response to the move, hundreds of anti-war demonstrators have marched
through the city to the army site. Drone Expert Chris Coles agrees -
that Britain is expanding its drone project - with the help of its imperialist
friends. The government defends drones. It says they save lives. It will
only admit to one civilian killing. But reality on the ground speaks
differently.
UK insists its operations are only in Afghanistan -
where British drones have flown about 45,000 hours and fired about 350
times.
