Suspected US missile attacks rock NW Pakistan
"Associated Press Writer= DERA ISMAIL KHAN, Pakistan (AP) — Two suspected U.S. missile strikes hit militant targets in northwestern Pakistan on Wednesday, officials said, bringing to six the number of such attacks in the region in less than a week. At least 10 suspected members of a group attacking NATO forces in Afghanistan were killed. (According to the US)
The strikes happened within hours of each other in North Waziristan, a lawless region (According to the US) home to militants battling foreign troops just across the border in Afghanistan, al-Qaida leaders plotting attacks in the West (According to the US) and insurgents behind bombings in Pakistan. (According to the US)
The militants have stepped up their own attacks in Pakistan in recent days, (According to the US) just as the army focuses on helping millions of victims from the worst floods in the country's history. Four big bombs have killed at least 135 people in less than a week.
The United States has fired hundreds of missiles into northwest Pakistan over the last 2½ years. American officials do not publicly acknowledge such strikes, but have said privately that they have killed several senior Taliban and al-Qaida militants and scores of foot soldiers.
Critics say innocents are also killed, fueling support for the insurgency.
The first attack was on a house in the village of Dande Darpa Khel near Miran Shah, the main town in North Waziristan, two Pakistani intelligence officials said on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media.
The house was owned by Maulvi Azizullah, a member of the Haqqani network, a militant group based in North Waziristan that U.S. military officials have called the most dangerous threat to NATO troops in Afghanistan. Six militants were killed, they said.
The second missile hit a car traveling a few miles (kilometers) from the border, killing four people associated with the Haqqani network, officials said."
