MIRAMSHAH: A US drone attack targeting a militant compound killed 10 insurgents in a troubled Pakistani tribal region on Wednesday, security officials said. Moreover, a BBC Urdu report quoted local authorities as saying that those killed in the strike were militants from the Haqqani network.
Two missiles hit the compound located in Tappi, 10 kilometres southeast of Miramshah, the main town in volatile North Waziristan near the Afghan border, a military official in Peshawar said.
“The attack triggered fire in the compound and 10 militants were killed,” the official told AFP on condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to speak to the media.
The dead included some foreign militants from Central Asia, another security official said but offered no details.

-——a troubled Pakistani tribal region on Wednesday-——
What is a troubled tribal region?
Where you go to die
One little, two little, three little militants
Four little, five little, six little militants
Seven little, eight little, nine little militants
Ten little militants dead.
Bit by bit, we are eating away at the enemy. I wonder if Obama or his succesor will maintain the drone strikes after the combat troops are pulled out.
