  Pakistan has denied the U.S's request to access more air space for U.S drones. Drones are planes were there is no pilot and are remote controlled. Four militants were killed on November 15, 2010, it is suspected that these were U.S drone strikes.Although Pakistan has denied air access they have said that the U.S to enhance intelligence capability on Pakistan soil. What interests me in this story is that the two military officials that have spoken to CNN in this article have asked that there names not to be stated because of sensitivity of the matter and they were not authorized to speak to the media.
