Pakistan: US drone strike kills four militants

A suspected US drone aircraft fired two missiles at a vehicle carrying Taliban fighters on Wednesday in Pakistan's North Waziristan region near the Afghan border, killing four militants, Pakistani officials said. The attack took place in Dattakhel village, 20 km (12 miles) west of Miranshah, the main town of the region, a santuary for al Qaeda and Taliban militants, intelligence officials said.

 

"The missiles hit a moving vehicle and we have reports of four dead," an intelligence official in the region told Reuters. Pakistan has expressed concern that the US strikes anger the public and undermine its campaign against the Pakistani Taliban, even though the attacks have killed senior Taliban and al Qaeda figures fighting to topple the government.
