US drone kills three militants in Pakistan

June 13, 2012 22:35

A US drone today targeted a vehicle in the lawless North Waziristan region of Pakistan, killing three militants, in the latest in a string of attacks by the CIA-operated spy planes in the tribal belt bordering Afghanistan.

The drone fired two missiles at the vehicle at a village located about 10 km from Miranshah, the main town of North Waziristan Agency, which is considered a hub of Taliban and Al Qaeda elements.

There has been a significant increase in US drone strikes in Pakistan since a NATO Summit in Chicago ended last month without a deal on ending Islamabad's six-month blockade of supply routes to Afghanistan.
