A series of drone strikes over the weekend and a confrontation on Monday near the border town of Peshawar between US diplomats and local police added new strains to already tense relations between the United States and Pakistan.
US and Pakistani government sources said Abu Yahya al Libi, a senior al Qaeda leader who had survived previous drone attacks, was a target of one of the latest strikes, which occurred early on Monday in North Waziristan. (Reuters)
