US drone strikes again, killing eight in North Waziristan [View all]
A US drone strike, aimed at suspected militants of Turkmen, has killed eight people in North Waziristan – a tribal seat in north-west Pakistan.
This is the second strike in the area in 24 hours. In a similar strike on Wednesday four militants were killed.
The drone shot two missiles at a house in the Isokhel area near Mir Ali. A nearby mosque was also damaged, reports say.
Five people died on the spot and three others who were injured died afterwards, according to a local official.

Will any information be released proving that those who were slaughtered were undeniably "terrorists" and not just people slaughtered for being suspected "terrorists"?
Or, is being a suspected "terrorist" grounds for slaughtering anyone, anytime, and anywhere?
