GHALANAI: Drone pilot less spy planes of US on Sunday continued their flights over the border area of the North Waziristan Agency of the tibal region of Pakistan just hours after a missile strike killed at least four people, local residents said. This incident happened in a small village, Machis Killi, two kilometers to the north of Miranshah. Sources said that the targeted compound was the residence of an elder and Agency counselor, Omar Daraz and local Taliban had been coming to his house. It is the second strike of its kind in North Waziristan in the past three days. Two missiles from suspected US drones overnight struck a compound just outside Miranshah, the headquarters of the restive North Waziristan Agency, being considered as a safe haven for Al-Qaeda remnants and Taliban militants. Several attacks have been made so far by these planes in tribal areas of Pakistan that had claimed scores of lives including women and children. These planes have made 10 attacks in the month of September so far.
