Gunmen Kill American Aid Worker In Pakistan

An American aid worker and his driver were shot dead Wednesday in a neighborhood favored by diplomats in the city of Peshawar, the latest sign of deteriorating security in northwestern Pakistan near the Afghan border.

Pakistani and other sources identified the U.S. victim as Steve Vance, who worked on AID-funded economic development projects in the Peshawar area. The city borders a lawless tribal region that has fallen under the influence of local and al-Qaeda linked militant groups.
