 Peshawar: Eleven suspected militants were
killed in a US drone strike in the restive North Waziristan
tribal region in northwest Pakistan today.
US drones fired at least four missiles at two rebel
hideouts in Datta Khel area of North Waziristan Agency,
killing 11 suspected militants and injuring two others, TV
news channels reported.
The two hideouts targeted by the drones were
completely destroyed.
Drones continued to hover over the area after the
attack.
The Datta Khel area has been repeatedly targeted by
drones since the beginning of this year.
The US stepped up drone strikes in North Waziristan
since seven CIA operatives were killed by a suicide bomber
linked to the Pakistani Taliban in neighbouring Khost province
of Afghanistan in December. |
