PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AP) — Pakistani intelligence officials say U.S. drone-fired missiles have killed eight people in the country’s northwest tribal region near the Afghan border.
The officials say the missiles hit a house Wednesday in Spalga village in the North Waziristan tribal area.
The identities of those killed in the attack are unknown. But the area is dominated by Hafiz Gul Bahadur, a prominent militant commander who has focused on fighting foreign troops in Afghanistan.
The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media.
