The US killed three "rebels" in a drone strike on a vehicle in the
Mir Ali Area of the Taliban-controlled tribal agency of North
Waziristan.
The remotely piloted Predators or the more advanced Reapers fired four missiles at a vehicle in the village of Khaderkhail in the Mir Ali area, according to AFP. Pakistani officials said that three "rebels" were killed.
The exact target of the strike has not been disclosed. No senior al Qaeda or allied jihadist commanders from foreign terrorist groups are reported to have been killed in the strike.
The strike is the second in the village since Sept. 24, when drones struck a compound there. Five "militants," including al Qaeda leaders Abu Kasha al Iraqi and Fateh al Turki, a previously unidentified leader, are said to have been killed. Their deaths have not been confirmed.
