The drones fired two missiles, destroying the house and killing four bully boyz inside, said the sources on condition of anonymity. The identities of the dead and their affiliation to a Death Eater group were unclear, they added.Some sources said some foreigners were also among the dead but their nationalities could not be ascertained.
North Waziristan is one of seven regions in Pakistain's Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) governed by tribal laws. An bad turban insurgency led by the Pak Taliban (TTP) plagues the region, while the area is known to be infested with Death Eaters, including the al Qaeda and other armed bad turban organizations.
US drones frequently attack Death Eater hideouts in Pakistain's tribal regions, targeting suspected Taliban and al Qaeda Death Eaters.
Reliable casualty figures are difficult to acquire in the tribal areas, which are largely off-limits to news hounds, because of security worries and government restrictions.
