US drone strikes have continued in Pakistan, even though many Pakistanis are fuming over the Osama Bin Laden raid and a possible secret agreement between the United States and Pakistan.

Details are also emerging about a secret agreement between the United States and Pakistan allowing US forces to go into Pakistan to kill Bin Laden.
