Pakistan drone attack 'kills 10'

11 August 2009

At least 10 suspected militants have been killed in a strike by a US drone in north-west Pakistan, local intelligence officials say.
The attack targeted an insurgents' camp in South Waziristan near the Afghan border, the officials said.
The area is the stronghold of Pakistani Taliban leader, Baitullah Mehsud, whose death in an earlier strike has not yet been confirmed.
There have been dozens of such drone strikes in the past year.
Hundreds of militants and civilians have been killed.
Most of the strikes have taken place in the tribal regions of North and South Waziristan.
