Suspected US missiles kill 10 people in militant-controlled Pakistan areaDERA ISMAIL KHAN, Pakistan (AP) — Suspected U.S. missiles killed 10 people in a militant-controlled region close to the Afghan border Sunday, the first such strike since an alleged Pakistani-trained extremist was accused of a failed Times Square attack.Last week’s attempted car bombing in New York City has added pressure on Pakistan to crack down on al-Qaida and Taliban militants who have been safe along the Afghan border. Top U.S. officials said Sunday they believe the Pakistani Taliban directed the plot. Faisal Shahzad, the Pakistan-American suspect, allegedly told investigators he received explosives training in the lawless Waziristan area. U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said Washington expects more cooperation from Pakistan in fighting terrorism and warned of “severe consequences.”‘Mountain to climb’ for UK parties to reach a power-sharing dealLONDON (AP) — The two parties that could form Britain’s next government held hours of closed-door talks Sunday without reaching a power-sharing deal. There are fears that the political uncertainty could stoke market jitters when trading reopens Monday.Conservatives and Liberal Democrats have a “mountain to climb” on issues including electoral reform, a senior member of the Liberal Democrats said. The Liberal Democrats want Britain to shed a system that gave them just 9 percent of the seats in Parliament after they won 23 percent of the popular vote, but if Conservatives give in, it could leave them at the smaller party’s mercy in future elections.The divide could offer an opening for Prime Minister Gordon Brown’s Labour Party to stay in power through a coalition with the Liberal Democrats and some smaller parties.
