Six dead in missile strike

It is important to mention here that three days ago, several persons, including two Arab nationals, were killed in a similar missile attack in Gangikhel village near Wana, South Waziristan Agency. Fearing further attacks, a large number of foreigners have sneaked into other adjacent areas.

AFP adds: A missile fired from an unmanned aircraft hit a house in Miranshah, killing six suspected militants, residents and officials said.

Residents said the missile was fired from a pilotless aircraft and that the house belonged to a local tribesman who had rented it out to the militants.
