US drone kills seven militants in North Waziristan

In Pakistan, seven militants were killed on Sunday in missiles fired from a US drone aircraft at a training compound in the lawless North-Western tribal belt. Officials said the missiles slammed into a building near the main town in North Waziristan and four others were wounded in the attack. A security official confirmed the casualties and said the dead included four foreigners, possibly Uzbeks. A local government official said the targeted compound about 25 kilometres east of North Waziristan's main town of Miranshah was used for training insurgents.
