At least three suspected militants were killed when a US drone fired missiles on a motorbike in Khaiderkhel village near Mirali, on of the main towns in North Waziristan Agency, on Monday. Officials in Miranshah, headquarters of North Waziristan Agency, said the US drone fired four missiles on the motorbike. Three people riding the bike were killed on the spot and their bodies left badly mutilated. According to the officials, the bodies were beyond recognition, but the dead appeared foreigners. Militants in the area later moved the bodies to an unidentified place for burial. North Waziristan has been a target for repeated drone strikes by the US and CIA who believe the area is a stronghold of the Haqqani network, the group accused by the US and coalition forces of crossing over into Afghanistan and attacking allied troops.
