Islamabad, Sep 15 (IANS) Twelve militants were killed Wednesday in US drone attacks in northwest Pakistan, a media report said.
The pre-dawn attacks targeted the Haqqani terror network in Dargah Mandi village. The village is located on the outskirts of Miranshah town in the troubled North Waziristan tribal region, Geo TV reported.
“US drones fired seven missiles at two militant compounds early this morning, killing at least twelve militants,” a senior security official said.
Local residents said there was panic in the village after the noise of drones was heard just before dawn.
The terror network is run by Sirajuddin, son of Afghan warlord Jalaluddin Haqqani, and is linked to Al Qaeda and the Taliban.
