American citizens rally Friday in Islamabad, Pakistan, against drone attacks. A group of American anti-war activists are in Pakistan with plans to join a "march" into the country's tribal belt to protest U.S. drone strikes in the rugged northwest territory. Their presence has energized some Pakistanis, but it also has added to concerns that Islamist militants will target the weekend event.
