Officials: Two U.S. Drone Strikes Kills 13 in Pakistan
DERA ISMAIL KHAN, Pakistan — Officials say two suspected U.S. missile strikes in northwest Pakistan have killed 13 militants.
The first attack Tuesday killed six militants and wounded six others in South Waziristan.
Three
intelligence officials and one government official said a second
missile later Tuesday hit a house owned by a known Afghan militant in
North Waziristan. Seven insurgents died in the attack.
The officials spoke on condition of anonymity citing policy.
The
tribal areas are a base for militants launching attacks both in
Pakistan and on American and other NATO troops in neighboring
Afghanistan. Western officials say the area is a stronghold of Al
Qaeda's senior leadership.
