(AFP) — Two US drone strikes targeting a militant compound and a vehicle in Pakistan’s lawless tribal district of North Waziristan have killed at least seven militants on Monday.

Both the attacks took place in Mir Ali town, some 40 km east of Miranshah, a stronghold of Taliban and al-Qaeda-linked militants and the main town in North Waziristan tribal district along the Afghan border.

Two US drones fired two missiles into a militant compound, and minutes later a second drone fired another two missiles at a vehicle close to the compound, officials said.

‘At least seven militants were killed in both the US drone strikes. The vehicle was completely burnt and the compound was also destroyed,’ a security official in Miranshah told AFP.

A second security official in Peshawar confirmed both the drone strikes and the casualties.

It was not clear whether the drones were pursuing any ‘high-value target’ but two intelligence officials in Miranshah said they had received reports from informers on the ground that those killed in the compound were all foreigners.

‘We don’t know their exact identities but we were informed that there were foreigners inside that compound,’ one intelligence official told AFP.
