DERA ISMAIL KHAN, Pakistan (AP) — A suspected U.S. missile strike targeted two areas in a Pakistani tribal region near the Afghanistan border on Thursday, killing at least nine people, Pakistani intelligence officials said. Also Thursday, bombings targeting police killed 10 people and wounded 14 in Pakistan’s volatile northwest and the capital — reminders of the challenge facing the country as its lawmakers pursue a national anti-terror consensus. The alleged missile strikes appeared to be part of a surge in U.S. cross border assaults from Afghanistan.—-contact The Daily Reveille’s news staff at [email protected]
