US officials: Drone strike kills five ‘militants’ in NW Pakistan
PESHAWAR, Pakistan — A US drone attack late on Sunday killed at least five militants in northwest Pakistan's lawless South Waziristan tribal district, officials said.
The drone strike was the first since a US gunman shot and killed two Pakistanis in the eastern city of Lahore on January 27, triggering a diplomatic row between Pakistan and its key terror ally the United States.
"Five militants were killed in the strike," a military official told AFP. "The target was a house used by militants," he added, requesting anonymity.
