Suspected US missiles hit Pakistani village

Wednesday, 17 Sep, PESHAWAR: A suspected US missile attack by drone aircraft on Wednesday hit a village in the Pakistani tribal region of South Waziristan where a militant camp was located, Pakistani intelligence officials said. The missiles targeted Baghar, a village in the mountains 55km west of Wana, the main town in the region, they said. Baghar is close to Angor Adda, the border village that was raided by US commandos on Sept. 3, and where another helicopter-borne raid was aborted on Monday after Pakistani troops and villagers opened fire. A Pakistani military spokesman said there had been explosions in the area, but could not confirm the cause. According to Dawn News, six people have been killed and seven injured in the attack.
