A US drone fired two missiles into a vehicle in the Datta Khel area of North Waziristan on Friday, killing at least three militants, local security officials said.
MIRANSHAH:
A US drone fired two missiles into a vehicle in the North Waziristan tribal region on Friday, killing at least three suspected militants, officials said.
The attack took place in the Kharkamar area, 40 kilometres west of Miramshah, a stronghold of the Taliban.
It was the fourth such attack reported in the tribal regions since US Navy SEALs killed Osama bin Laden in Abbottabad. Another local security official confirmed the strike and toll, but said the identities of the dead were not immediately known.

Good atleast the American are relentlessly targeting the terrorists. Kudos to Americans !Recommend
There are 25,000 terrorists hiding in Pakistan border areas. So, we need ten times the kill rate to wipe out terrorism from the globe. Within 500 days(less than two years) all terrorists will be dead. Current rate of one strike a day is inadequate.Recommend
These drone attacks are “in your face”. Army and ISI were sleeping about OBL. They are still sleeping about drone attacks, poor generals. They have two choices put up or shut up and they are doing both. Recommend

America is always right. No need to check who were killed. Take dollars and be happy. Our Army and Rulers are fooling the nation. We are told to believe in American version of every story.Recommend
@P.A.M. – People who don’t treat other humans as human don’t deserve a human status. I know you will call it inhuman, but so be it. Different people deserve different treatment based how they behave.Recommend
shame on us lot for allowing the usa to hit drone in our tribal areas what is this army for can’t do any action in this area or the only solution is drones Recommend
@Raj:
How can you judge about people when you don’t even know them. As a universal law, unless proven guilty everyone is innocent.
Terrorists do not deserve the treatment of humans, but how it can be determined that whether people being killed are terrorists if the killer is the judge, jury, evidence and execution. These attacks are executions. Means these classify as war crimes. Recommend
@Raj
