North Waziristan: At least four people were killed in a US drone attack in North Waziristan agency of Pakistan’s north western tribal region bordering Afghanistan.
According to a local private news television, the unmanned US aircraft fired four missiles on a house situated in Tibbi area of the agency’s Miran Shah.
Attacks by unmanned US aircraft remain contentious — they are deeply unpopular in Pakistan, which says they violate its sovereignty and fan anti-US sentiment. But American officials are said to believe they are too important to halt.
Washington considers Pakistan’s semi-autonomous northwestern tribal belt as the main hub of Taliban and Al-Qaeda militants plotting attacks on the West and in Afghanistan.
