The US launched its first drone strike in Pakistan in nearly two weeks in Pakistan’s tribal areas today. The latest strike took place in an area of North Waziristan that is known to harbor al Qaeda fighters.
The remotely piloted Predators or the more heavily armed Reapers fired two missiles at a compound in the remote Shawal Valley, according to AFP. Five “militants” were killed in the strike, Pakistani officials told the news agency.
No senior al Qaeda, Taliban, or allied jihadist commanders are reported to have been killed in today’s strike.
Al Qaeda, the Movement of the Taliban in Pakistan, and Taliban fighters under the command of Hafiz Gul Bahadar, the leader of the Taliban in North Waziristan, are all known to operate in the Shawal Valley, which is near the border with Afghanistan.
