Desk Report: Suspected US drones fired missiles into Pakistan’s Kurram region on Monday, killing at least 11 militants, nine of them from a major Afghan militant group fighting Western forces in Afghanistan, local officials said.
US forces have intensified missile strikes by remotely-controlled drones in Pakistan’s border regions since the killing of Osama bin Laden by US SEALs in the country last month.
Seventy-seven militants have been killed in missile strikes by US drones this month, according to a Reuters tally based on statements from intelligence officials.
Most of these strikes focused on Waziristan — a major al Qaeda and Taliban sanctuary — but Monday’s attack targeted militants in Kurram, another tribal region north of Waziristan.
An intelligence official in Kurram said the four missiles fired by drones targeted two militant compounds and a vehicle in the Khardand area, a stronghold of Fazal Saeed, a local militant commander.
