                Kerry in Pakistan to Discuss Drones, Afghan War

   U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry has arrived in Pakistan for meetings
   concerning American drone strikes, the war in neighboring Afghanistan
   and the fight against Islamist extremism.
   Kerry came to Islamabad ahead of meetings Thursday with key civilian
   and military leaders, including newly elected Prime Minister Nawaz
   Sharif and army chief of staff, General Ashfaq Kayani.
   Anti-American sentiment runs high in Pakistan, which says the United
   States fails to appreciate the sacrifices it has made in fighting
   terror.
   But U.S. officials say they are hopeful Mr. Sharif`s election and the
   impending withdrawal of U.S.-led troops from Afghanistan offers a new
   opportunity to recast relations.
   The Obama administration has not sent its top diplomat to Pakistan
   since 2011.
