From Bill Roggio:
The US carried out another Predator airstrike in Pakistan's Taliban-controlled tribal agency of North Waziristan, killing four "militants," according to reports from the region.
The unmanned, CIA-operated Predators or Reapers fired a pair of missiles at a compound and vehicle in the tribal agency's main town of Miramshah on Aug. 16. The strike took place in the early morning near a girls' school in the town. No civilians have been reported killed in the attack.
Four "militants" were killed and two more were wounded in the strike, Pakistani officials told AFP. No senior al Qaeda or Taliban leaders were reported killed.
The exact target of the strike is unclear, but the area is a known stronghold for the al Qaeda-linked Haqqani Network. Other terror groups also operate in the area. |
