Trending In Our News Feeds Drone strike kills Taliban number two. A U.S. drone strike killed the Pakistan Taliban’s second in command yesterday, according to three Pakistani security officials. “This is a huge blow to militants and a win in the fight against insurgents,” said an official. However, Reuters notes drone casualties are difficult to confirm. Members of the Pakistan Taliban claim the militants have already selected a new number two.
