MIRANSHAH: Despite assurance by senator John Kerry that future drone attack on tribal will be carried out with mutual cooperation of Pakistan and US, CIA operated drone strikes a vehicle in Pakistan's North Waziristan district on the Afghan border, killing six people on board.
The two missiles struck the Tappi area, 10 kilometres (six miles) east of Miranshah, the main town of North Waziristan.
Another local security official confirmed the strike and casualties, saying the identity of those killed in the attack was not immediately known.
Friday’s attack was the seventh to be reported in Pakistan’s tribal areas near the Afghan border since US commandos killed Osama bin Laden in a secret raid in the Pakistani city of Abbottabad on May 2 and second after Pakistan Parliament warned US and Nato that supply route to Afghanistan will be closed in case of any future Drone attacks.
