A U.S. drone strike in Pakistan has killed at least 17 people. Reuters is reporting most of the dead were fighters with the Haqqani militant group. The attack in the North Waziristan region was the deadliest by the United States in Pakistan this year, and the second since Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif took office last month. Sharif has called for an end to the drone strikes.
