A drone strike killed four persons and injured three in North Waziristan Agency on Sunday.

The latest drone strike took place in Tabai Khel village near Miran Shah. According to military sources, militant commander Hamza Mehsud was the target of the strike and might have been killed along with his accomplices.

The area has been targeted by US drones in the recent past, and reports suggest that Taliban Commander Hafiz Gul Bahadar also belongs to the area.

Sadia Hussain | 14 years ago | Reply The drone attacks have been instrumental in eliminating many high-profile targets which would escape otherwise e.g. Bait-ullah Mehsud ,Naik Muhammad and others. Contrary to the perception these attacks are held in approval by Pakistan forces that provide the ground Intel.
