Two US missiles kill 11 militants in Pakistan
Two US drone attacks killed at least 11 militants in Pakistan's tribal belt on the Afghan border yesterday, flattening an extremist Taliban training centre, Pakistani officials said.
A suspected US drone fired a missile at militants trawling through the wreckage of the mud-brick fort in Sanzali village in North Waziristan, trying to pull out bodies and survivors after an earlier attack on the centre.
"Two foreigners died in the initial attack," a senior Pakistani security official in the northwestern city of Peshawar told AFP. The nationalities of the two were not immediately clear.
"Five militants were killed in the previous attack and six in this attack," the official added, speaking on condition of anonymity.
Another Pakistani security official put the death toll at 13.
