UK terror suspects 'die' in US drone strike in Pakistan
The Foreign Office is investigating reports that two UK terror suspects died in a US drone strike in Pakistan.

Ibrahim Adam, 24, and Mohammed Azmir, 37, both from east London, are said to have been killed in Waziristan on the Afghanistan border.

Mr Adam's father confirmed his son had been killed by a US unmanned aircraft.

A Foreign Office spokesman could not confirm the deaths but said: "We are aware of reports and are looking into them further."

1. This has to stop. Suspects? Really? By what proof and by who says?

Why don't we capture and interrogate them? Just because you talked to someone that said they know to a terrorist is not proof anyone is a terrorist.

And how do they know from a mile away who it really is? How sure are they really?

5. It is very obvious
They have brown skin, they are not wearing suits, and they are in the middle-east
So they must be terrorists
