U.S. Drone Strike Kills Four Militants in Pakistan
2012-06-14
[An Nahar] A U.S. drone attack killed four Death Eaters on Wednesday in Pakistain's northwestern tribal region, known as a hotbed of Taliban and al-Qaeda myrmidons, security officials said.

There has been a dramatic increase in U.S. drone strikes in Pakistain since a NATO

summit in Chicago ended last month without a deal to end a six-month blockade on NATO supplies crossing into Afghanistan from Pakistain.

A drone attack killed 15 Islamic fascisti in North Wazoo on June 4. The dead included senior al-Qaeda figure Abu Yahya al-Libi, according to U.S. officials.

It was not immediately known if there were any high-value targets killed in the latest strike, which again took place in North Waziristan.

"The drone fired two missiles on a vehicle," a security official said. "The corpse count has gone up to four," he added. Previously he said three Islamic fascisti had been killed.

The vehicle was hit in Isha village, about 10 kilometers (six miles) east of Miranshah

, two other security officials said. The vehicle caught fire after the attack, they said.

Miranshah is the main town in North Waziristan.

Nine drone strikes have been reported in Pakistain since May 23 and the June 4 strike was the deadliest since 18 Pak Taliban were reported killed on November 16, 2011.
