8 killed in U.S. drone strike in NW Pakistan
 (Xinhua) -- At least eight people were killed and two others injured in a U.S. drone strike launched Monday afternoon in Pakistain's northwest tribal area of North Wazoo, reported local media.According to the report, the U.S. drones fired four missiles in the area of Tehsil Shawa in Miranshah of North Wazoo which borders Afghanistan and one of the missiles reportedly hit a vehicle carrying five local welfare workers and all of them were said to be killed. There are also reports saying at least four foreign Islamic fascisti belonging to Hafiz Gulbahbdur group were killed in the strike. Monday's strike is the second of its kind over the last 24 hours. On Sunday night, the U.S. drone fired three missiles targeting at a house and a car in the Datta Khel area of North Wazoo, killing six Hafiz Gulbahbdur turbans. Located along the Pakistain-Afghanistan border area, North Wazoo is considered to be a major stronghold of Islamic fascisti in the country. Despite the fact that the U.S. drone strike is mainly targeting at the Islamic fascisti active in the area, many innocent people have also been mistakenly killed in such strikes and this has led to a strong resentment against the United States among the local people. Analysts here believe that with the step-up of the U.S. drone strikes against the Islamic fascisti in Pakistain, more retaliatory actions will also be taken by the Islamic fascisti in the country in the near future.
