Eight killed in US done strike, including four foreigners
Eight militants have been killed in a US drone strike in Pakistan’s north Warziristan region, four of which were foreign nationals.
Three missiles were fired at a house in the Datta Khel area yesterday evening. Five were killed as a result of the attack, including the foreigners.
The foreigners were said to be from Turkmenistan, and members of the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan (IMU).
Shortly after, a car parked outside the house was hit, killing three others.
Local tribesmen reportedly said that Taliban militants took away the dead and injured.
The others killed in the attacks were said to be Taliban militants loyal to Hafiz Gul Bahadur, the group's main commander in the area.
Datta Khel, about 30km from North Waziristan main town of Miranshah, is reportedly a safe haven for al-Qaeda.
