ISLAMABAD: US Secretary of State John Kerry hinted towards an end of the CIA-operated drone campaign in the tribal areas of Pakistan, as he said in a television interview on Thursday that the signature strikes could end "very soon".
"I think the programme will end as we have eliminated most of the threat and continue to eliminate it," Kerry said in an interview with state-run Pakistan Television.
Pressed on whether a timeline was envisaged, Kerry replied: "The president has a very real timeline and we hope it's going to be very, very soon."
