Pakistan missile strike kills eight

Missiles fired from Afghanistan hit a militant hideout in Pakistan’s tribal belt Wednesday, killing at least eight people including some foreign extremists, security officials said.
Two missiles hit a house owned by a local tribesman with links to Islamic militants in Wana, the main town in the troubled South Waziristan tribal region, the officials said.
‘It was a known hideout for militants. At least eight people were killed and some foreign militants are among them.’ security official said.
Residents said the owner of the house, named as Haji Yaqub, was wounded and was pulled from the rubble of his house, but people were scared to stay in the area because aircraft were flying overhead. ‘The missiles came from Afghanistan,’ the official said.
There has been a series of missile attacks on militants in Pakistan in recent weeks.
