PESHAWAR – Three suspected militants were killed on Wednesday when US-led allied forces in Afghanistan fired missiles from unmanned drones at a vehicle in the border region of North Waziristan on Wednesday.
Two missiles hit the vehicle near the village of Anbur Shaga in the Datakhel area, destroying it completely and killing all three suspected militants on board. The identity of the militants could not be ascertained but tribesmen believe they were foreign militants.
Drone attacks against local and foreign militants in the Waziristan region are intensifying once again. General Officer Commanding Maj General Ghayoor Mehmood told reporters a few days ago that almost all the targets of drone attacks were militants now and collateral damage had decreased.
