Three missiles hit a compound and a vehicle in Dargah Mandi area of North Waziristan tribal region. The identities of the dead were not immediately clear, said intelligence officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to media on the record. However, the area hit was a stronghold of the Haqqani network, an Afghan Taliban faction that is considered a major threat to U.S. troops across the border in Afghanistan. A missile strike in the same region last week killed Mohammad Haqqani, a son of the network's aging leader, Jalaluddin Haqqani, officials said. The missile strikes have been one of several blows in recent weeks to militants on Pakistani soil. At least three Afghan Taliban commanders have been captured in recent weeks in Pakistan, including the No. 2 leader of the insurgents, Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar. Pakistani Interior Minister Rehman Malik said Wednesday that Islamabad was expecting a formal request from the Afghan government to hand over Baradar _ which likely would allow U.S. officials to conduct their own interrogation of him. Baradar was captured in a joint Pakistani-U.S. operation in the southern city of Karachi early this month, and has given some useful information to Pakistani interrogators, Pakistani officials have said. It is unclear if American officials have had direct access to Baradar. Malik held talks Wednesday with his Afghan counterpart, Mohammad Hanif Atmar, and said afterward that "there is going to be a formal request" from Afghanistan to turn Baradar over. Malik said last week Pakistan would not hand the Afghan suspects to U.S. authorities but would return them to their countries of origin if there was no proof they had committed crimes in Pakistan. The comment reflected the government's sensitivity to widespread anger among many Pakistanis who think Islamabad too often does Washington's bidding. FBI Director Robert Mueller met Pakistani and Afghan officials in Islamabad on Wednesday for talks on counterterrorism cooperation. Mueller also met separately with top officials at Pakistan's intelligence agencies, the U.S. Embassy said in a statement. The statement offered few details, and did not mention if Baradar was discussed at the talks. U.S. Gen. David Petraeus, who oversees the war in Afghanistan, said the arrests of the Afghan Taliban suspects were the result of intelligence breakthroughs, and dismissed the idea that Pakistan acted against Baradar because he may have been involved in talks with the Afghan government and it wanted to get a seat at the table by arresting him. "I wouldn't share your characterizations that, in a sense, (the Pakistanis) have always had this intelligence," Petraeus told reporters late Tuesday. "What has happened is that there has been some important breakthroughs." Over the past 18 months, Pakistan has undertaken several army offensives in the northwest against Islamist militants. Those operations have mostly targeted militants attacking the Pakistani state, not militants fighting U.S. and NATO troops in Afghanistan. Petraeus said Pakistan still made distinctions between such groups, but that there appears to be an "evolution" in that it now sees them as increasingly entwined. The insurgents have found ways to retaliate beyond suicide attacks. Earlier Wednesday, the bodies of two men alleged by militants to be U.S. spies were discovered in Mir Ali, a town in North Waziristan. Each had a note attached accusing the victim of spying for the Americans and warning other informants they faced the same fate, area resident Akram Ullah said. Another witness, Sana Ullah, said one man was a local tribal elder and the other was Afghan. ___ Hussain Afzal reported from Parachinar. Associated Press writers Munir Ahmad, Chris Brummitt and Rohan Sullivan contributed to this report from Islamabad.
