| Description | At least 14 people including women and children were killed Monday in a missile strike by suspected US drones on a Pakistan tribal town near the Afghan border, officials told AFP.
The drones fired several missiles that hit a house near a madrassa or Islamic seminary in North Waziristan, the officials said, in the fourth such strike in the rugged tribal region in almost a week.
"The death toll has risen to 14, seven civilians and seven militants," an intelligence official said, hours after the 11am (0500 GMT) strike.
Women and children were among the dead, as well as the militants, including three "foreigners" believed to be of Arab origin. |
