Pakistani Officials Say U.S. Missle Strike Kills Militants




ttaylor@wcyb.com

Pakistani intelligence officials say a reported U.S. missile strike has killed eight suspected militants in a northwestern region near the Afghan border.

Two officials say a drone fired two missiles today at a compound being used by Taliban militants in a village near Mir Ali in North Waziristan.

They say eight bodies were found. The suspected drone strike is the fourth since Pakistan launched an offensive in adjacent south Waziristan in mid-October.

U.S. officials rarely discuss the missile strikes so the report couldn't be confirmed.
