Islamabad (DPA) — US unmanned drones on Thursday fired four missiles into a suspected Taliban compound in Pakistan’s north-western tribal area along Afghan border, killing at least 30 and injuring 10 people, intelligence officials said.

The missile attack severely damaged the building allegedly used by local Taliban in Data Khel, a main town in the troubled tribal district of North Waziristan.

‘We have received reports that at least 30 people have died while 10 more are injured in the attack’ an intelligence official said on condition of anonymity, adding that the casualties were all Islamist insurgents.

‘The drone attack took place when local Taliban were holding a meeting at the compound,’ he said.

‘The exact identity of those killed is not determined yet since Taliban have cordoned off the area. We have to see if there was some important commander among the dead,’ the official said.

Another official confirmed the incident saying that death toll might rise most of those injured were said to be in critical condition. ‘A large number of Taliban were gathered there when the missiles struck,’ added the official.
