US Drone Strike Kills Four Militants In Pak

In a pre-dawn strike, a US drone today fired missiles at a compound and a vehicle in Pakistan’s restive North Waziristan tribal region infested by Taliban and al-Qaeda-linked terrorists, killing at least four militants and injuring two others.

The CIA-operated spy plane fired two missiles at the compound and the vehicle parked outside it in Miranshah, the main town in North Waziristan tribal agency.

Four militants were killed and two others injured, TV news channels quoted officials as saying. The compound targeted by the drone was located near a girls’ school.

The drone struck before dawn, when people were having ‘sehri’, the meal that marks the beginning of the fast during the Islamic holy month of Ramzan.

Militants cordoned off the compound and began removing the rubble, local residents said.
