PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AP) — Pakistani intelligence officials say 20 Islamist militants are now known to have been killed in an American missile attack close to the Afghan border.
The officials said 16 of the dead were Afghan militants belonging to the Haqqani network, an insurgent faction fighting the U.S. presence in Afghanistan.
The attack took place early Tuesday on a house in the North Waziristan tribal region.
The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.
