Afghan missile strike kills 8 in Waziristan

Missiles have been fired from Afghanistan into Pakistani territory , killing at least eight people in a suspected hideout for militants.

The suspected militants were killed when two missiles hit a house in Pakistan’s tribal area in the South Waziristan town of Wana.

Security officials confirmed the missiles came from Afghanistan.

Residents said the owner of the house was pulled from the rubble and many people fled because planes were flying overhead.

The missile strike against the suspected militants in Pakistan is one in a recent series of attacks attributed to United States-led forces or the CIA.

Last week, a suspected US coalition strike on an alleged training camp in the area killed at least 10 people.
