| US strike kills 10 Taliban in Pakistan: officials |
| 2009-08-11 |
| Tuesday's attack took place near the small mountain town of Kanniguram in South Waziristan, a stronghold of Mehsud, who is branded by Washington a key Al-Qaeda facilitator in Pakistan with a five-million-dollar bounty on his head. "Two missiles were fired by a US drone. It was a militant compound," a Pakistani government official told AFP on condition of anonymity. Another Pakistani military official told AFP: "At least 10 Taliban militants were killed in the attack. It was a drone attack." Kanniguram is seven kilometres (four miles) south of Laddah, the village where a suspected US drone fired two missiles into the house of Mehsud's father-in-law last Wednesday. |
