ISLAMABAD: German Special Representative for Pakistan and Afghanistan Bernd Mutzelberg on Friday, strongly opposing US drone attacks in Pakistan, said that such attacks were against the country’s sovereignty.

Addressing a select group of journalists at a dinner hosted by the German ambassador, the special envoy said the attacks were proving counterproductive and were failing to win popular support for the war on terror.

“Drone attacks prove counter-productive in winning the hearts and minds of the people and their support is essential,” Mutzelberg said.
