Car bombing kills 29 in Pakistan
(Agencies)
Updated: 2008-12-06 14:14 There have been more than 30 suspected US missile strikes since August, including one on Friday in the North Waziristan region, part of Pakistan's wild tribal belt viewed as possible hiding place for Osama bin Laden.
Three Pakistani intelligence officials said that one missile hit a house in the village of Khushali Turikhel and another landed in a field. The officials, who cited reports from agents and informants in the area, said three people were killed and two others injured, however the identity of the victims was not known. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to speak on the record to media. The missiles are apparently fired from drone aircraft that take off from Afghanistan. US officials rarely confirm or deny responsibility though American leaders have said the attacks have killed several militant leaders this year. |
