MIRANSHAH:
A US drone strike targeting a
militant compound Monday killed
three militants in North Waziristan,
officials said.
The attack took place in the Boya
area of North Waziristan region of
which Miranshah is the main town.
A US drone fired two missiles on a
militant compound, killing three
rebels, a senior security official told
AFP on condition of anonymity.
This was the second strike in less
than 24 hours. At least three
militants were killed Sunday in a
drone attack on Dargamandi area in
North Waziristan, also known as a
strong bastion of Taliban and al
Qaeda linked militants.
Another security official confirmed
the strike and casualties but said
the identities of those killed were
not immediately known.
Boya is believed to be stronghold of
the Hafiz Gul Bahadur group and
both foreign and local militants.
Bahadur, a local warlord, is allied
with the Afghan Taliban fighting US-
led troops across the border.
