Drone Kills 4 in Pakistan Amid Tension With US 23 May 2012 A U.S. drone fired two missiles at a compound in northwest Pakistan on Wednesday, killing four 'suspected militants' in an attack that comes as Washington is running out of patience with Islamabad's refusal to reopen supply routes for NATO troops in Afghanistan. U.S. drone strikes have complicated negotiations over the routes, which Pakistan closed six months ago in retaliation for U.S. airstrikes that killed 24 Pakistani soldiers along the Afghan border. Pakistan's parliament demanded the strikes stop in the wake of the attack, but the U.S. has refused.
