MIRANSHAH, Pakistan (Reuters) - U.S. drone aircraft struck a militant hideout in northwest Pakistan near the border with Afghanistan on Monday, killing at least 12 suspected militants, Pakistani intelligence officials said.
The drones fired
several missiles at a compound in the Shawal area of the North
Waziristan tribal region. Two suspected militants were wounded in the
strike, officials added.
Shawal is a remote
area of forested ridges and valleys that spreads out on both sides of
the border and has long been known as a haven for militants from Pakistan, Afghanistan and beyond.
