PESHAWAR (BNA) At least four suspected militants were killed in a US drone strike on Friday afternoon in North Waziristan Agency. Although military and political administration officials refuse to comment on such strikes in the tribal areas, intelligence sources said the drone targeted a suspected militant facility located in the Hisukhel area of Mir Ali. The drones fired two missiles, destroying a house and killing four militants inside, said the sources on condition of anonymity. The identities of the dead and their affiliation to a militant group were unclear, they added. Some reports said some foreigners were also among the dead but their nationalities could not be ascertained.
