About

Identifying those killed by CIA drone strikes in Pakistan. A project by the Bureau of Investigative Journalism.
Description
Over the past nine years, the tribal region of Pakistan’s north west has been hit by hundreds of drone attacks as the CIA has sought to stamp out al Qaeda fighters and the militant groups that have given them shelter.In most cases, there is little information available about who the drones are really killing. Most of the dead – an estimated four-fifths of those killed – are believed to be militants. But their deaths are typically reported as a number – their names, origins and livelihoods remain a mystery.

Naming the Dead aims to identify those people killed in CIA drone strikes on Pakistan. It is a project run by the Bureau of Investigative Journalism, a not-for-profit research organisation based in London.
