PESHAWAR, Pakistan: A US drone strike killed at least 21 suspected militants in Pakistan’s North Waziristan region on Wednesday, officials said, just days after Pakistan called for “clear terms of engagement” in the US-Pakistan relationship.Among those targeted in the attack on a house 3 km east of the main town of Miranshah were members of the Haqqani network responsible for the worsening insurgency in eastern Afghanistan, and foreign militants.
“The dead included local Taleban as well as some Arabs and Uzbek nationals,” an intelligence official in North Waziristan said, speaking on the condition of anonymity.
It was the largest strike since July 12, when US drones killed 48 suspected militants in North Waziristan.
