U.S. drone hits militant camp in Pakistan

reportedly no one was killed in this Missile strike , but HLN news is saying 3 were killed , at least one of their compounds were destroyed and they again are further aggravated by the presence of the wonderful Predator drones ! letting the Taliban and Al Qaida members have no rest is Priceless !


WANA, Pakistan (Reuters) - A missile fired on Sunday by a pilotless U.S. drone struck a militant camp in Pakistan's South Waziristan region on the Afghan border but there were no reports of casualties, security officials said.

The drone strike came a day after a suicide-car bomber killed 27 soldiers and two passers-by in an attack on a military convoy in the northwest. Pakistani Taliban said the bombing was a reaction to U.S. drone attacks.

"It was a training camp. At the moment, we're trying to get information from the site," said one security official in the region, who declined to be identified.

Another security official said the camp was being used by militants from Pakistan's Punjab province.

Residents said the compound was empty as militants had left it hours before the strike.

"The drones were flying last night and we saw those living in the house leaving in the dark," said villager Kaleem Wazir.
