Drone attack kills at least four suspected militants in Pakistan
BANNU, PAKISTAN | BY HAJI MUJTABA
A U.S. drone strike killed at least four suspected militants in northwest Pakistan on Thursday, three Pakistani intelligence officers said, in what appeared to be an attack on the Haqqani Network.
Two missiles were fired at a house strike in Alwar Mandi, North Waziristan, said the officials, and four or five militants were killed.
The strike comes amid turmoil in insurgent ranks after the Afghan Taliban last week announced the death of their reclusive one-eyed leader Mullah Omar.
