Pakistan wants complete "ownership" of the US drone technology for carrying out strikes against terrorist targets in its territory, President Asif Ali Zardari said on Wednesday.
"We want ownership of the drone. Democracy doesn't believe in half measures," Zardari told newsmen in London when asked about reports that US has agreed to hand over control of drone aircraft to Islamabad.
Speaking shortly after his meeting with British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, Zardari said Islamabad was "negotiating
