Suspected drone attack kills 10 in Pakistan
Islamabad, Pakistan (CNN) -- A suspected U.S. drone attack killed 10 people in northwest Pakistan on Thursday morning, officials said.
Four missiles struck near a madrassa, or religious school, that had been converted into a training camp for militants in South Waziristan, Pakistani intelligence and local officials said.
On Saturday a suspected U.S. drone fired two missiles at a target in Pakistan close to the Afghan border, killing four people, according to two intelligence sources and an administration official.
The U.S. military routinely offers no comment on reported attacks by drones, or unmanned aircraft. But the United States is the only country operating in the region known to have the ability to launch missiles from remote-controlled aircraft.
