ÙS missiles kill 25 in Pakistan
US missiles killed 25 people in an al Qaida and Taliban sanctuary close to the Afghan border today, Pakistani officials said, signalling American intent to press ahead with such attacks despite renewed protests by Islamabad.
In another reminder of the difficulties facing Washington, a well-known politician said he and his followers would try to “blockade” Nato supplies which pass through Pakistan en route to Afghanistan over the weekend to protest over the strikes.
