35 Killed in Pakistan Attack; Taliban Claims Revenge for U.S. Drone Strikes 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------


 
At least 35 people were killed in northwest Pakistan on Saturday when
militants attacked an army base. The dead included ten civilians who
died when rockets struck their nearby home. The Pakistan Taliban claimed
responsibility for the attack, calling it revenge for a recent U.S.
drone strike that killed two Taliban commanders. The violence comes
after a monthly record for U.S. drone strikes inside Pakistan in more
than a year.
