The camp in the Shawal area was run by terrorists fighters loyal to Pakistani terrorist warlord Hafiz Gul Bahadur, whose loyalists attack in Afghanistan, and was targeted by five US missiles at around 5pm (AEST) today, the Pakistani security officials said.
"The death toll is 20. It is likely to go up," a senior security official told AFP. Foreign terrorists and terrorists militants from Pakistan's central Punjab province were thought to be among the dead, he added.
Local officials in Miranshah, the main town of North Waziristan, also confirmed the attack and the death toll.
Local residents described the camp as a major terrorist training centre on the top of a hill surrounded by trees and ice cold natural springs. |
