Seven militants killed in Pakistan drone strike


Islamabad, Jan 15 (IANS): At least seven militants were killed Thursday in a drone strike in Pakistan's North Waziristan, media reported.

Two missiles were fired on a house at Shawal valley by a US drone, setting the house ablaze and destroyed it completely, Geo TV reported.

North Waziristan is among Pakistan's seven tribal districts near the Afghanistan border rife with homegrown insurgents and are alleged to be strongholds of Taliban and Al Qaeda operatives, among other extremist groups.

Pakistan's military in June last year launched an operation 'Zarb-i-Azb' against Taliban militants in the region which is still continuing.
