US Drone Kills at Least 16 in Pakistan
--------------------------------------



In Pakistan, a US drone killed at least sixteen people on Saturday. The
strike reportedly targeted an underground hideout used by the Taliban.
The US was attempting to assassinate the region’s top Taliban chief, but
the target left the location before the attack. Meanwhile, tens of
thousands of Pakistani civilians continue to flee the fighting between
the Pakistani armed forces and militants in South Waziristan.
