At least three people were killed and several others injured when two missiles fired by a US drone hit a commercial building located in Miranshah bazaar of North Waziristan Agency on Thursday morning. An official in Miranshah said the building collapsed after being hit by missiles, and three of its occupants were killed on the spot. He said the dead bodies were mutilated and could not be recognised.
The official suspected that the first floor of the building was being used by militants. A number of US drones were hovering over Miranshah after the attack. It is the second drone strike in North Waziristan in less than 12 hours, and 15th in the past three weeks. Senior al Qaeda leader Abu Yahya al Laibi was killed in a similar drone strike last week.
