US drone fires missiles into Pakistan, up to 12 dead
MIRANSHAH, Pakistan, Nov. 24 (Reuters) - U.S. drones fired at least three missiles into Pakistan's Waziristan tribal region on Friday, killing up to 12 people including five foreigners, government and paramilitary officials said.
The attack targeted a remote village on the border between North and South Waziristan in an area known as a hotbed of al Qaeda and Taliban support.
"We have reports that 12 people were killed, including five foreigners," a paramilitary official told Reuters by telephone from the area. (Reporting by Haji Mujtaba; Writing by Zeeshan Haider; Editing by Jerry Norton)
