An American Drone Strike Kills 50 in Pakistan
A U.S. drone killed more than 50 people in missile strikes on a Taliban stronghold area of Pakistan. The strike happened in South Waziristan, where the people were attending the funeral of a militant commander who had been killed in an earlier strike. The attack came as the Pakistani army prepared a new offensive in the area. We turn to Rob Watson, the BBC’s defense correspondent, for more of the story.
