The death toll from a drone strike in north-eastern Pakistan has risen to 20, Pakistani intelligence officials said on Saturday. Twelve people were originally reported dead in Friday's strike on a compound in the Dhattakel region in North Waziristan.
Public anger over US drone attacks has helped inflame tensions between Pakistan and the United States. Friday's strike took place a day after two trucks carried Nato supplies across the border into Afghanistan - the first shipments since convoys were halted by Pakistan last November.
