US drones strike in Miramshah's bazaar, kill 3 militants


US drones struck for the second time in 24 hours in Pakistan's Taliban-controlled tribal agency of North Waziristan.

Today's strike, which took place in the early morning, targeted the fighters "on the first floor of a shop" in the bazaar in Miramshah, Pakistani officials told AFP. The remotely piloted Predators or Reapers fired a pair of missiles at the shop, killing three "militants."

The identity of those killed was not disclosed, and no senior al Qaeda or Taliban leaders have been reported killed at this time.

Today's airstrike occurred less than one day after US drones killed four more unidentified militants as they traveled in a vehicle in the town of Isha just outside of Miramshah.
