A U.S drone fired two missiles on a suspected hideout on Sunday evening, killing eight militants in the mountainous Shawal Valley of North Waziristan, a tribal region in northwest Pakistan.
Tribal sources said the drone fired missiles at a three-room structure where suspected militants were having an Iftar dinner, breaking their fast during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
“The militants, including Arab fighters, were having an Iftar dinner in the compound when the drone fired two missiles. Later, an hour after the drone had disappeared, a group of militants arrived and started pulling out bodies,” local tribesman Yasin Khan said.
Khan said that eight bodies, mutilated beyond recognition, were recovered from the wreckage of the building razed by the explosions.
