U.S. Drone Strikes Kill 8 Near Afghan-Pakistani Border

HeadlineOct 13, 2014

Two U.S. drone strikes killed up to eight people along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border Saturday. The strikes reportedly targeted a vehicle in North Waziristan, and a compound in the Khyber region. Pakistani media identified the dead as suspected militants, including a senior member of the newly created al-Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent. The attacks bring the total number of U.S. drone strikes in the area last week to at least eight.
