8 Suspected Militants Killed by Drone in Pakistan

A U.S. drone killed eight militants in a tribal region of northwest Pakistan Sunday, NBC News reported. The drone fired two missiles on a three-room suspected hideout where alleged militants were having dinner, breaking their fast for the holy month of Ramadan, Tribal sources said. "Later, an hour after the drone had disappeared, a group of militants arrived and started pulling out bodies," local tribesman Yasin Khan said. Eight bodies, mangled beyond recognition, were recovered from the wreckage of the building, Khan said. He added that local tribal militants told him four of the dead were Arab fighters.
