US officials have said that Washington will continue its non-UN-sanctioned CIA assassination drone strikes in Pakistan, rebuffing Pakistani MPs’ demands that the deadly attacks be halted.

The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said on Friday that if a target is detected by the CIA's unmanned aerial vehicles, its hellfire missiles will take the shot Press TV reported.

On Thursday, Pakistan's parliament unanimously approved new guidelines for ties with the United States. The guidelines demand an end to US assassination drone strikes on Pakistani territory. 

The recommendations, which were drafted by the Parliamentary Committee on National Security (PCNS), also called for an unconditional apology for US-led airstrikes in November that killed 24 Pakistani soldiers at two mountain posts near the Afghan border.

Pakistani Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani told parliament that his government would implement the guidelines in “letter and spirit.”

“Our partnership cannot be at the cost of our sovereignty or territorial integrity. We want to proactively engage with our international partners. Our resolve to combat extremism and terrorism remains unshakeable,” he said.

In addition, PCNS Chairman Raza Rabbani, who presented the recommendations, told parliament that relations with the US must be based on mutual respect for national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
