The U.S. CIA deployed armed drones in FATA, Pakistan since 2004 for targeting militants responsible for the 9/11 attacks. However, unlike Afghanistan, FATA, Pakistan represents a non-designated combat zone. The purpose of this research questioned the drone strikes for the FATA region by applying the principles of jus ad bellum, and jus in bello to the U.S. CIA drone strikes in FATA, Pakistan. This study evaluated U.S. legal issues and sovereignty concerns for targeted drone strikes in FATA, Pakistan. This study determined Pakistan covertly consented to the drone strikes in the FATA region, while publicly denouncing them. This research discovered armed drones impact the physical, emotional, and psychological behavior of militants and FATA inhabitants. The research indicated drone targeting methods include personality strikes, signature strikes, and double-tap strikes for delivering armed munitions. While the personality strikes rely on identifying suspected individuals, the signature strike method uses militant behavior indicators for targeting purposes. Double-tap strikes represent successive drone strikes launched at the same location for assuring target elimination. This research indicated how the CIA used the double-tap strike method, and extensively used the signature strike method in the FATA region, which caused twice as many fatalities as compared to the personality strike method. The signature strike method depicts an illegal act without evidence, and the double-tap strike method constitutes a war crime. This study determined how armed drones do not parallel snipers eliminating a designated target using a single projectile due to the 50-foot killing radius of a Hellfire missile. This study discovered militants do not wear uniforms or follow IHL guidelines. Militants intentionally cause harm to civilians and hide among FATA inhabitants. Keywords: Cybersecurity, Professor Christopher Riddell, AUMF, Charter of the United Nations, Geneva Conventions of 1945, Predator drone, al Qaeda.
