Missile raid kills 13

Suspected US drones fired missiles into a Pakistan border region on Friday killing 13 militants, including five foreigners, officials said, the latest in a series of strikes that has infuriated Pakistan.

There have been nearly 20 attacks by suspected missile-firing pilotless US drones since the beginning of September.

A senior government official in the region, Latif-ur-Rehman, said the missiles hit a militant compound in the Kamsham area of North Waziristan.
