US drones kill 8 in Pakistan

MIRAMSHAH: At least eight militants were killed and four others wounded Tuesday when US drones fired missiles at militant compounds in Pakistan’s North Waziristan tribal region, security officials said.

The missiles struck militant compounds in the villages of Haider Khel and Hasookhel some 25 kilometres east of Miramshah, the main town in the North Waziristan tribal district, a stronghold of Taliban and Al Qaeda-linked militants.




“US drones fired missiles on two militant compounds. At least eight militants have been killed,” a security official in Miranshah told AFP.

The two attacks occurred within an hour, with four militants killed in each compound, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

Another security official in the northwestern city of Peshawar confirmed the attack and casualties. Both officials said the identity of those killed was not yet known.

US drone strikes last week killed a prominent warlord, who had sent insurgents to fight Nato troops in neighbouring Afghanistan, along with nine other militants in Pakistan’s tribal belt.
