MIRANSHAH: A US missile attack killed at least four militants when it targeted a vehicle in Ghulam Khan town North Waziristan district Friday, Geo News reported.Two missiles fired by a US drone hit the vehicle in Ghulam Khan town, some 15 kilometres (9 miles) northwest of Miranshah, the main town in North Waziristan tribal district close to the Afghan border.Security officials in Miranshah and Peshawar said that militants killed in the strike were associated with the powerful, al-Qaeda-linked Haqqani network, but that they were still seeking more information.Officials said militants were moving from one area to another when their vehicle was struck by the unmanned US aircraft. Militants frequently relocate in an effort to avoid the intensifying campaign of drone attacks.The Haqqani network fights foreign troops in Afghanistan from bases in North Waziristan and was created by Afghan warlord Jalaluddin Haqqani. It is currently run by his son Sirajuddin Haqqani.The Pakistani Taliban also dominates parts of the lawless area, as do other warlords. The United States does not confirm drone attacks, but its military and the Central Intelligence Agency operating in Afghanistan are the only forces that deploy the unmanned aircraft in the region.
