From the Daily Times (of Pakistan):
Four militants killed in Waziristan missile strike
MIRANSHAH: At least four militants were killed and five wounded when three
missiles fired by an unmanned aircraft hit a house in Muhammad Khel village
in North Waziristan Agency on Thursday. Three missiles targeted the house of
tribesman Rehman Wali in the village bordering Afghanistan, about 35
kilometres east [a mistake, should say west] of agency headquarters
Miranshah, security officials said.Residents said a pilotless drone flew
over the area for five hours before making the attack at about 5pm. Area
resident Azeemullah Wazir told AP the house was known to host foreigners. He
said he heard three blasts and later saw Taliban militants surround the
site.
