Pakistani officials say a U.S. drone strike has killed at least 19 suspected militants in the country's northwest. Friday's strike took place near Miran Shah, the main town in the North Waziristan tribal region -- a known hub of Taliban and al-Qaida-linked militants.
Officials said foreigners were among those killed when missiles hit a compound in the area. It was one of deadliest suspected U.S. strikes and the first such attack since Pakistan re-opened NATO supply lines into Afghanistan following a seven-month shutdown.
Those foreigners wouldn't happen to speak Arabic, would they? |
