ISLAMABAD, Jan. 1 (Xinhua) -- Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi Thursday urged the United States to stop cross-border drone attacks inside Pakistan's territory.

    Speaking at private TV channel GEO's program, Qureshi said that Pakistan had asked the United States to put a halt to drone attacks.

    He said that such attacks were not in the interest of the two countries and also urged the United States to review its policy.

    A suspected U.S. drone fired three missiles in Pakistan's South Waziristan tribal region bordering Afghanistan on Thursday, killing five people, according to private DAWN NEWS TV channel.
