Dead Taliban = Good Taliban !

MIRANSHAH, Pakistan (Reuters) - A U.S. drone aircraft fired missiles into Pakistan's North Waziristan on the Afghan border on Tuesday, killing up to 10 militants in the second strike in as many days, intelligence officials said.

Although U.S. ally Pakistan is battling militants in its northwest it officially objects to the U.S. strikes by pilotless aircraft, saying they are a violation of its sovereignty and cause civilian casualties which bolster Islamist support.

The latest missile strike came hours after Taliban militants attacked a group of boys on their way to school in another part of the northwest, killing four and wounding three, officials said.

Pakistani intelligence agents said the target of the missile strike was the house of a cleric near the Afghan border used as a militant hideout.

"Nine to 10 militants have been killed. They are locals affiliated with the Haqqani group," an intelligence official in the region told Reuters referring to veteran Afghan Islamist guerrilla commander Jalauddin Haqqani.

Five militants were killed in a similar strike in the same region on Monday.
