Pakistan is crucial to U.S. efforts to stabilize neighboring Afghanistan and U.S. President Barack Obama said the release of additional U.S. aid to the nuclear-armed country would depend on how it tackled terrorism. With the Afghan insurgency intensifying, the United States began launching more drone strikes against al Qaeda and Taliban militants on the Pakistani side of the border last year. Since then, more than 30 U.S. strikes have killed about 350 people, including mid-level al Qaeda members, according to reports from Pakistani officials, residents and militants. Pakistan calls the strikes violations of its sovereignty and says the civilian casualties they inevitably cause inflame anti-U.S. sentiment, complicating its effort to fight militancy. The attack on Saturday was in North Waziristan, a stronghold of al Qaeda and Taliban militants on the Afghan border about 35 km (20 miles) west of the region's main town of Miranshah. "The missile hit a house where some 'guests' were staying," one intelligence agency official said, referring to foreign militants. "We have information that 13 people were killed including some guests." Hours later, a suicide bomber killed eight paramilitary troops in an attack on their post in central Islamabad. Five were wounded. Pakistani Taliban militants have threatened in recent days to launch attacks in the capital, in Afghanistan and in the United States in retaliation for the drone attacks. Pakistani Taliban leader Baitullah Mehsud claimed on Saturday responsibility for a shooting at a U.S. immigration center in New York state in which a gunman killed 13 people. Mehsud said it was revenge for the drone attacks. U.S. officials ruled out the claim and Pakistani security analysts dismissed it as a publicity stunt. Separately, militants fighting for the independence of gas-rich Baluchistan province released an American U.N. refugee official they kidnapped two months ago. OBAMA DEMANDS ACTION Hours after the drone strike, a suicide bomber was killed as he approached a military convoy near Miranshah. His explosives went off, killing three passersby, witnesses and a hospital official said. Continued... View article on single page Share: Del.icio.us Digg Mixx Yahoo!
