Pakistan Drone Controversy

Emails between US diplomats in Islamabad and State Department officials in Washington about whether to challenge specific US drone strikes in Pakistan are at the centre of a criminal probe involving Hillary Clinton's handling of classified information, the Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday.

A drone shot down in Pakistan has been identified as having been made in China, a Chinese state-run daily said on Saturday.

Amid escalating hostilities along the border in Jammu and Kashmir, India today warned of "a forceful response" to ceasefire violations, but the tension is unlikely to thwart a planned meeting of National Security Advisers.

UN chief Ban Ki-moon waded into the controversy surrounding US drone strikes during a visit to Pakistan on Tuesday, insisting they must operate within international law.

US missiles fired from a drone in a Pakistani tribal region near the Afghan border killed eight suspected militants early on Sunday, officials said, as the controversial American strikes continue despite Islamabad's persistent demands that they stop.

A U.S. drone strike in northwest Pakistan has killed Al Qaeda's second-in-command, officials from both countries confirmed on Tuesday, the most significant victory so far in the controversial bombing campaign and the biggest setback to the terror network since the death of Osama bin Laden.
