The Pakistan Taliban have claimed responsibility for a jolting, deadly attack on Karachi's airport that led at least 26 people dead.

The militant group said it launched the assault in revenge for a US drone attack that killed its leader while a senior official said several of the fighters appeared to be foreign.
