WASHINGTON — Secretary of State John Kerry said Thursday that the United States will likely soon stop targeting terrorists in Pakistan with drone strikes.

"I believe that we're on a good track," Kerry told local media during a visit to Pakistan. "I think the program will end as we have eliminated most of the threat and continue to eliminate it."
