Five killed in Pakistan air strike
Updated on 12 October 2008
A suspected US missile strike has killed five tribesmen in a Pakistani town close to the Afghan border, the latest in a series of attacks in a region where top al-Qaida leaders are believed to be hiding, two intelligence officials said.
Two unmanned drones were seen above the town of Miran Shah in north Waziristan minutes before missiles hit a house near a matchbox factory in the town late Saturday, the officials said, based on reports from informants in the town.
Initial reports suggested three people were killed, but later two more bodies were recovered from rubble of the house of Umar Daraz, a local tribeman.
