            Kerry: Two US Consulate Workers Killed in Peshawar Blast

   by VOA News

   U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry says two local employees of the U.S.
   consulate in the northern Pakistani city of Peshawar were killed in an
   explosion during a drug eradication mission.

   Kerry told a gathering at the state department Tuesday that he awakened
   to the news that pair were killed, along with an unknown number of
   Pakistani soldiers, when an improvised explosive device detonated while
   on an effort to eradicate narcotics fields.

   Kerry said the Pakistani troops were guarding the mission.

   No further details of the incident were provided.
