Hoo-rah!

Dera Ismail Khan, Pakistan (AP) — Two U.S. missile strikes minutes apart killed at least six suspected militants near the Afghan border on Wednesday, two Pakistani intelligence officials said.

The strikes targeted a vehicle and a motorcycle in the forested Bhangar area of South Waziristan where insurgents have their hideouts, said the officials. They spoke on condition on anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media on record.

The exact identities of the dead were not immediately clear and the officials said their agents were trying to get more details.

Such strikes are carried out by the Central Intelligence Agency, though Washington rarely acknowledges its role.
