US missile strikes kill 9 militants in Pakistan

Nine Pakistani militants were killed Wednesday morning by two U.S. drone aircraft missiles. The strikes were targeting militants in the North Waziristan tribal region of Pakistan. North Waziristan is populated by Afghans who's goal is to attack the U.S. forces and its NATO allies forces across the border. The first drone attack fired a missle at a vehicle in the main town, Qutab Khel area of Miran Shah. The last four suspected militants were killed in the second attack when missiles struck a house and a vehicle in Khaso Khel village. There were at least 20 drone missle attacks in Pakistan in October. As for these two attacks, the United States will not comment or acknowledge the attacks.
