Drone strike kills at least 3 militants near Pak-Afghan border

[DAWN] At least three suspected murderous Moslems were killed in an alleged United States (US) dronezap on Thursday targeting a bully boy compound in Afghanistan's Paktia province near the Pak-Afghan border, officials said.

The Paktia provincial governor's spokesperson Abdullah Asrat said the dronezap took place on Afghan soil, in the Patan district. He also gave a higher corpse count, saying that seven murderous Moslems were killed, including two commanders, and that two were maimed.

According to two Pak intelligence officials, the unmanned drone fired two missiles at the Ghaznavi compound of the Haqqani network

because they were not authorised to speak to the media.

The compound is located on the Pesho Ghar mountain in the Kurram tribal region's Ghuzgari area.
