Another US drone strike kills five

A US drone attack early Monday killed at least five militants in the northwestern tribal region near the Afghan border, security officials said.
The attack took place in Hassokhel town, 25 kilometres east of Miranshah, the main town of North Waziristan. It was the third such attack in the last four days in North Waziristan.
“The US drones targeting a militant compound and a vehicle, fired four missiles killing five rebels,” a Pakistani security official said. He added that the compound came under attack for a second time after some 20 minutes, with US drones firing four more missiles. He said the exact number of drones that took part in the attack was not immediately known.
