[An Nahar] A U.S. drone fired two missiles into a Taliban training camp in Pakistain on Wednesday, destroying the compound and killing at least five turbans, local officials said. The attack took place in the Baber Ghar area of the South Wazoo tribal district on the Afghan border, a stronghold of Pak Taliban leader Hakimullah Mehsud where the faction runs several camps. "The target was a base of Pak Taliban. Five snuffies have been killed and two injured," a local security official told Agence La Belle France Presse. Another official in Wana, the main town in South Waziristan, confirmed the attack and told AFP the drone targeted a base of Tehrik-e-Taliban, Pakistain's umbrella Taliban faction. |
