US drone strike kills five militants in Pakistan: officials
(AFP) Posted Monday August 23, 2010 - 9:37am

A US drone strike on Monday killed five militants in Pakistan's northwestern tribal belt near the Afghan border, security officials said.

The strike hit the Dandey Darpa Khel area, about five kilometres (three miles) from Miranshah, the main town in North Waziristan district, a known hub for Taliban and Al-Qaeda linked militants.

The area is also famous as stronghold of the Al-Qaeda-linked Haqqani network, known for staging attacks on US and NATO troops fighting in Afghanistan.

"The US drone fired three missiles and hit a house used by militants. Five militants have been killed," A senior security official at Peshawar told AFP.

An intelligence official in Miranshah also confirmed the attack and the toll.
