MIRAMSHAH: Nine militants were killed in North Waziristan in two attacks carried out by US drones on Friday.
In the first attack, a US drone fired missiles at a car in Machikhel area of Mirali tehsil in North Waziristan, killing five militants, sources said.
They said that the drone fired two missiles when the car was about to leave a residential compound, killing five Afghan militants belonging to the Haqqani network.
AFP adds: Another drone attack, this time on a militant compound in Azizkhel town in Mirali district, killed another four militants.
“A US drone fired four missiles at a compound killing four militants,” a security official said.
“The compound was destroyed and militants have cordoned off the area,” he added.
Two other intelligence officials confirmed the attack and casualty figures.
The Mirali area is considered a stronghold of the Pakistani Taliban, the warlord Hafiz Gul Bahadur group and the Haqqani network.
They left .. in pieces.
