US envoy in Pakistan as suspected drone kills Haqqani aide

A suspected U.S. drone strike killed a close aide of the commander of the Haqqani militant group in Pakistan's North Waziristan region on the Afghan border on Thursday, intelligence officials said.        

The strike came as U.S. special representative Marc Grossman arrived in Islamabad to meet top officials and mend ties strained by recent U.S. allegations that Pakistan is supporting the Haqqanis, blamed for high-profile violence in Afghanistan.      

Jalil Haqqani, 33, who helped organize the Haqqanis' operations, was one of four militants killed when two missiles allegedly fired by a U.S. drone struck a house in the village of Dande Darpa Khel, the officials said.
