Missile attack on Pakistan militant camp kills 9
A missile strike destroyed an insurgent hideout in Pakistan's tribal belt at a house once owned by the late military chief of the Taliban, killing nine people, witnesses and sources said.
The attack happened in the North Waziristan tribal area, where US officials have said that Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda network and its Taliban allies have regrouped to plot attacks in neighbouring Afghanistan and the West.
It was not clear who was responsible for the missile attack.
Residents and local sources said drones flew over the site in the village of Danday Darpakhel before two missiles hit the site, one of which exploded and destroyed the house formerly owned by Taliban commander Mullah Dadullah.
