PESHAWAR (AFP) - A US drone strike killed at least three militants in North Waziristan on Thursday, destroying a compound in a mountain stronghold of the Afghan Talibans Haqqani network, officials said. The attack took place in Darpakhel Sarai, just outside Miranshah, the main town of North Waziristan. A drone fired two missiles on a militant compound. At least three militants were killed, a senior security officials told AFP. He said those killed were loyal to Jamil Haqqani, an important Afghan commander in the Haqqani network whom US officials said was killed in a drone strike in North Waziristan on October 13. A US official at the time named him as Janbaz Zadran, saying he played a central role in helping the Haqqani network attack US and coalition targets in Kabul and southeastern Afghanistan. Other intelligence officials in Miranshah and Peshawar confirmed Thursdays missile strike and casualties.
