Anger after US strike

Angry residents of a Pakistani village on the Afghan border stopped government officials yesterday from approaching the ruins of a house struck by missiles suspected to have been fired by a US drone.

Eighteen people including foreign militants were killed when two missiles hit a house in the village of Damadola in the Bajaur tribal region, where Islamist militants have been known to operate, on Wednesday evening, a security official said.
