Five killed in US missile strike in northwest Pakistan: officials
AFP - 2 hours 10 minutes ago
MIRANSHAH, Pakistan (AFP) - - A missile strike by a suspected US drone killed at least five people including foreigners in northwest Pakistan near the Afghan border, security officials said Wednesday.
"The strike overnight destroyed the house of a tribesman Sakhi Mohammad in the Bannu district," a senior security official told AFP.
"At least two foreigners were among five killed."
Pakistani officials use the term "foreigners" to describe Al Qaeda militants.
According to local officials, at least seven people were also wounded in the missile strike.
Bannu police officer Alam Sheerani confirmed the missile attack but did not give details of casualties.
