27 killed by missile strike

Dozens of followers of Pakistan's top Taliban commander were in a compound targeted by a US missile strike that killed 27 near the Afghan border, intelligence officials said.

The missile strike on Saturday appeared to be the deadliest yet by the American drone aircraft that prowl the frontier.

The victims included about 15 ethnic Uzbek militants and several Afghans, said Pakistani intelligence officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
