Pakistan says two key al-Qaida leaders were killed in a U.S. missile attack near the Afghan border last week. This is a confirmation of earlier reports by the U.S. One of the men killed is believed to be behind last year's Marriott Hotel bombing in Islamabad and an assassination attempt against Benazir Bhutto. Meanwhile, Vice-President-elect Joe Biden is in Islamabad for talks on regional issues. Joining our discussion of these events is the BBC's Charles Haviland in Islamabad, Pakistan.
