Abdullah Wazirstani, front man for the North Waziristan Taliban ...Arabic for students... , a group linked to the Tehrik-e-Taliban (TTP) Pakistain, said the strike killed three civilian 'labourers' and seven gunnies from the TTP. Malik Waheedullah, a local tribal leader, told Rooters he saw two missiles strike a mountain home which caught fire. "I drove away as fast as I could," he said. Rooters quoted one Pak intelligence official and government source who said they believed the strike to be a dronezap  .US officials did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
