Air strike kills seven

Suspected US drones fired missiles into a Pakistani village early yesterday, killing at least seven people in the latest strike on the stronghold of a veteran Taliban commander.

The attack targeted a village in the North Waziristan region near the Afghan border where Jalaluddin Haqqani, an old friend of Osama bin Laden, had established a madrasa, or religious school.
