(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, 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, 온라인카지노 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 that...

Pictures: Monaco wedding’s religious ceremonyPictures: The civil serviceSpecial section: Monaco’s royal wedding According to People magazine, the couple attended an IOC cocktail party after arriving in Durban “amid tight security.” Charlene was dressed in a black cocktail dress and covered her arms with a black shawl, while Albert wore a suit and tie for the event.

(CBS) The final 14 dancers showed their stuff to choreography by a new (new to SYTYCD, that is) group of artists on Wednesday night’s episode of the Fox summer hit “So You Think You Can Dance.” Pictures: “So You Think You Can Dance” Season 8 But all eyes may have been on the judges panel which included, of all people, Carmen Electra in a sheer, low-cut ensemble. I could see Debbie Reynolds last week; at least she was a tap dancer in her day. But Carmen Electra? What can she tell contestants about their dancing? It turns out, not much, despite the long list of dance credentials she spouted at the start of the show. Her comments were filled with mindless generalities and sometimes she just repeated the comments of the other judges. Those other judges included former contestant and now acclaimed choreographer Travis Wall, whose comments were pointed and who almost always had helpful tips for the dancers. (And he also was wearing a very dapper purple velvet jacket.) Mary Murphy and show creator and producer Nigel Lythgoe completed the panel. Among the new choreographers were Justine Giles, Ray Leeper, and Chucky Klapow. While the dancing by the pairs showed various degrees of proficiency, it was the group works that stole the show. Wednesday’s episode started with a Justin Giles piece for the men about the stages of...

PARIS — Paris authorities are building a permanent security belt around the Eiffel Tower. The renovations seek to protect against terror 사다리 threats, BBC News reports. The company operating France’s most-visited monument said see-through panels are being set up at the north and south ends of the site. Each panel, made from over 6-centimeter thick armored glass, measures nearly 10 feet high and weighs 1.5 tons. In all, 450 glass panels will compose the two walls north and south of the monument.  Two graphic grids have been erected on the two other sides of the site and bollards against vehicle ramming attacks will be set up all around. French soldiers and police will keep patrolling outside and inside the area, as they have done since the deadly November 2015 attacks in the French capital.  The glass walls being installed allow visitors to admire the views from the nearby Champ-de-Mars gardens to the other side of the Seine River that cuts through Paris.  Bernard Gaudillère, president of the Société d’Exploitation de la Tour Eiffel, which runs the monument, described the new walls as “rock-solid for absolute security,” the BBC reported.  The renovation, which will also embellish the gardens beneath the tower, is part of a $350 million project announced last year to modernize the 129-year-old tower that has become the most recognized landmark in Paris. Between 6 and 7 million people...
