Drone strike kills four militants

A US drone strike in Miranshah killed at least four militants on Tuesday, officials said. The unmanned aircraft fired two missiles, hitting a compound and a vehicle parked outside it in Miranshah, a senior security official told AFP. "At least four militants were killed," the official said, adding that two others were also wounded.
Another security official and an intelligence official confirmed the attack and casualties. The identity of the militants was not immediately clear, officials said. The missiles struck in the main town close to a girls school before dawn as people were starting their Ramazan fast, an AFP reporter, close to the destroyed compound, said. Militants immediately cordoned off the compound and were busy removing debris, he said.
