U.S. Drone Attack Kills 7 in Pakistan 
--------------------------------------


 
At least seven people have been killed in a U.S. drone strike in the
Pakistani area of North Waziristan. As in previous strikes, Pakistani
officials say the victims were militants, but the Obama
administration’s policy is to deem all adult-male drone targets as
militants unless exculpatory evidence is found after their deaths. The
strike comes just as the head of Pakistan's intelligence service,
Lieutenant General Zaheer ul-Islam, is preparing to visit the United
States for talks later this week.
