Second US drone strike kills four militants in NW

MIRANSHAH: A second US missile strike targeting a vehicle travelling in Pakistan’s lawless tribal belt near the Afghan border killed four militants on Saturday, officials said.

The attack took place in Inzarkas village, around two kilometres from the scene of an earlier drone strike on Saturday, some 45 kilometres west of Miranshah, the main town in the North Waziristan (NW) tribal district.

“The US drone fired two missiles and targeted a vehicle. Four militants have been killed,” a security official in the area said.

An intelligence official in Miranshah also confirmed the attack and death toll. – AFP
