Pakistani political party activists
burn an effigy during a protest
against U.S. drone attacks in
Bannu on Nov. 17, 2013. Pakistan
reacted angrily earlier this month
to a U.S. drone attack that killed Pakistani Taliban chief Hakimullah
Mehsud, saying the strike had
sabotaged peace talks with the
insurgents.
A suspected
U.S. drone targeted an Islamic
seminary early Thursday in
Northwest Pakistan, killing six
people in an attack likely to
inflame tensions over the CIA drone campaign. According to local officials, three
missiles were fired into a madrassa
in Kyber Pakhutunkhwa province
about 5 a.m. local time, a rare
strike outside of Pakistan’s tribal
areas.
