(AP) QUETTA, Pakistan – A U.S. drone strike killed 12 suspected militants in northwest Pakistan near the Afghan border Friday. In the southwest, gunmen on motorcycles opened fire at a roadside restaurant. Watch: Examining the latest out of Pakistan, 스포츠 토토 Syria, and Iran U.S. drones fired a total of five missiles at a compound in Miran Shah, the main town in the North Waziristan tribal area, according to Pakistani intelligence officials speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to brief the media. In addition to the militants killed, six others were wounded, some of them critically, they said. Those hit were believed to loyal to Hafiz Gul Bahadur, a militant commander whose forces frequently target U.S. and other NATO troops in neighboring Afghanistan, the officials said. A similar drone attack Sunday killed eight of Bahadur’s fighters. U.S. officials rarely speak publicly about the covert CIA drone program in Pakistan. The strikes are extremely unpopular in Pakistan because many believe they mostly kill civilians, a claim disputed by the U.S. Pakistani officials regularly denounce the attacks of violations of the country’s sovereignty, but the government has cooperated with at least some of the strikes in the past. That cooperation has come under strain as the relationship between the two countries has deteriorated. Pakistan’s parliament has demanded the U.S. end the strikes, but Washington has made clear...

The actor says police have asked him to testify at an inquiry into allegations that a tabloid newspaper hacked into the phones of newsmakers, including celebrities and a murder victim. In an interview with “The Early Show” Wednesday, Grant said, “This is the watershed moment when, finally, the public starts to see and feel, above all, just how low and how disgusting this particular newspaper’s methods were.

(AP) PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti – Two Americans locked up for almost two months in a Haitian prison for their alleged roles in a pro-army demonstration were released on Friday. Judge Bredy Fabien said the charges against Jason William “Zeke” Petrie and Steven Parker Shaw were dropped because there wasn’t enough evidence to hold them. But Fabien added that their release was conditional and the two still needed to be available if the judge had questions. “Whenever I need them I can call them,” Fabien told The Associated Press after the closed-door hearing. The two were among more than 50 marchers who were locked up on May 18 for participating in a demonstration that pushed for the return of Haiti’s disbanded armed forces. Petrie and Shaw were initially charged with conspiracy after they allegedly drove a group of the hopeful soldiers in the march. That charge was later dismissed and they were charged with criminal association and attempted murder. Petrie, 39, is from Barberton, Ohio; and Shaw, 57, is from Dighton, Massachusetts. Upon their release, Petrie and Shaw hugged and kissed their girlfriends in the courtyard of the courthouse. “You know what, it’s a beautiful thing to be free — that’s what I can tell you,” Petrie as he put his arm around his girlfriend, Darlene Eliette, 예스카지노 20. Still, John Shattuck, a family friend who worked with attorneys to secure...
