U.S. Resumes Drone Strikes in Pakistan, Killing 14 
---------------------------------------------------


 
The U.S. has resumed its drone war in Pakistan after a nearly six-month
pause. At least 14 people have been killed in a pair of strikes since
Wednesday. It's the first known U.S. drone attacks in Pakistan since
December. The strikes come days after Taliban fighters stormed the
Karachi airport, leaving 36 dead, including the 10 attackers. The
resumption of U.S. drone attacks could signal the Pakistani government
is moving toward an offensive on the Taliban. Pakistan had asked the
U.S. to pause the drone war when it opened peace talks with the Taliban
last year.
