At least 10 people were killed and two others were injured on the second consecutive day of US drone attack. An unmanned aircraft fired two missiles at a compound believed to have been used by militants in the Hassokhel village near Mirali town of North Waziristan in the early hours of Thursday.
Officials in Miranshah said the Taliban militants were offering Fajar prayers when the missiles hit the compound. As a result of missile strikes, several portions of the house were destroyed, and 10 of its occupants were killed and two injured. Militants from the surrounding areas rushed to the site, and shifted the dead bodies and injured people to an undisclosed location.
The identity of the killed and injured people could not be determined, but the tribesmen at Mirali say that most of them were Central Asians, mostly affiliated to the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan. The tribesmen said the drone strikes in Miranshah and Datakhel areas had pushed a large number of foreign militants to Mirali.
