US Drone Attack Kills Eight Militants In Pakistan

A US drone killed at least eight militants Friday when it fired two missiles on a vehicle in Pakistan’s tribal badlands near the Afghan border, security officials said.

The attack took place in the Shaktoi area of South Waziristan, part of the tribal belt that Washington considers a global hub of Taliban and al Qaeda militants.

“A drone fired two missiles on a vehicle. At least eight militants were killed,” a senior security official said. “It is not immediately clear if some important target was hit in the missile strike.”-[source]
