First drone attack in weeks kills seven
DERA ISMAIL KHAN: A drone strike killed at least seven people on Monday in South Waziristan, officials said, the first such attack in a month as a diplomatic feud strains US-Pakistan ties.
At least four missiles were fired from unmanned US aircraft at a suspected militant training centre in Azam Warsak, just west of Wana, the main town in the South Waziristan tribal agency, intelligence officials in South Waziristan said.
It is the first time since January 23 that intelligence officials have reported a US drone attack, marking a resumption of a campaign that has become the centerpiece of US efforts to halt militants launching attacks on its soldiers in Afghanistan.
