The U.S. has resumed its drone war in Pakistan after a nearly six-month pause. At least 14 people have been killed in a pair of strikes since Wednesday. It’s the first known U.S. drone attacks in Pakistan since December. The strikes come days after Taliban fighters stormed the Karachi airport, leaving 36 dead, including the 10 attackers. The resumption of U.S. drone attacks could signal the Pakistani government is moving toward an offensive on the Taliban. Pakistan had asked the U.S. to pause the drone war when it opened peace talks with the Taliban last year.
