Attack Reveals Snags in U.S. Terror Fight in Pakistan

February 19, 2008

The complications of going after suspected terrorists in Pakistan are made evident by a recent CIA attack.

On Jan. 29, a CIA missile strike killed a senior al-Qaida member in remote northwest Pakistan. The attack was unusual because the CIA did not tell the Pakistani government about the strike until it was under way. And U.S. forces may start taking that unilateral approach in Pakistan more often, according to a story in Tuesday's Washington Post.

Michele Norris talks with one of the writers, reporter Robin Wright.
