US drone strike leaves 3 dead in NW Pakistan
At least three people have been killed in a US assassination drone strike in the Boya area of Pakistan’s North Waziristan. ● The attack was carried out during the early hours of Monday, when a killer drone targeted the tribal area near the Afghan border. A senior Pakistani security official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the three were killed by two missiles. The incident took place hours after another drone killed at least six people in the northwestern tribal area of Dargamandi in North Waziristan. The attacks come days after the Pakistani government confirmed that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif would seek an immediate halt to the US drone strikes during his speech at the 68th Session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York. On September 22, seven people died in a US killer drone strike in the same area.
