Drone strike kills five in N Waziristan
[Pak Daily Times] A suspected United States missile strike on Sunday killed at least five associates of a warlord who is fighting western troops in Afghanistan said the intelligence officials. Powerful jihad boy leader Hafiz Gul Bahadur struck a truce with the Pakistain's military and agreed to stay on the sidelines as it waged an offensive in the South Wazoo tribal area against the talibans operating from Pakistain. Bahadur instead focused on battling the US and NATO troops across the border in Afghanistan. Two Pakistain intelligence officials told The News Agency that Dare Not be Named that two missiles targeted a home in the village of Datta Khel in the North Wazoo tribal area where Bahadur's associates were thought to be staying. They said five people were killed and three allegedly maimed. There were at least four other attacks earlier in the week. Posted by: Fred 2010-09-14 |
