A US drone strike targeting a vehicle killed four people in Pakistan’s tribal belt on Tuesday, local officials said, the second such operation since the killing of Osama bin Laden.
A security official said the drones fired two missiles into South Waziristan, one of seven districts in Pakistan’s semi-autonomous tribal belt on the Afghan border that Washington has called an Al-Qaeda headquarters.
Another official said the missiles fell near Angoor Adda village.
“Two missiles were fired on a vehicle at about 4:15 pm (1115 GMT) and four militants were killed,” the official told AFP on condition of anonymity.
The identity of the militants was not immediately known.
On Monday, hundreds of Taliban rallied in Wana, the main town of South Waziristan, vowing to avenge bin Laden’s death after US Navy SEALs shot him dead last week in the Pakistani town of Abbottabad near Islamabad.
Pakistan should make up it's mind! Did the U.S. kill Bin Laden or not? If the U.S. did not kill him then how does Pakistan have his wives and say they did not know he was there? Which is it?
