US President Barack Obama has reportedly given the CIA more flexibility to carry out drone strikes in Pakistan against terror suspects than any other country after approving more restrictive rules in 2013.
According to Fox News, Obama reportedly approved a waiver that exempted the CIA from proving that militants targeted in Pakistan posed an imminent threat to the US.
The CIA conducts drone strikes in Pakistan as well as in Yemen, where it works alongside the military.
According to reports, the CIA's Pakistan drone strike program was initially exempted from the "imminent threat" requirement until the end of US and NATO combat operations in Afghanistan.
