FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda The unmanned aircraft fired two missiles at a house in North Waziristan on Sunday morning.
The attack comes days after a US assassination drone fired two missiles on a building in the Shawal area, 50 kilometers southwest of Miranshah, the main town of North Waziristan district, leaving at least five people dead and three others wounded.
In late January, US President Barack Obama publically confirmed for the first time that drone aircraft have struck targets inside Pakistan.
Obama said “a lot of these strikes have been in the FATA”, the acronym for Pakistan’s Federally Administered Tribal Areas.
Pakistan contends that the drone strikes against suspected Taliban militants are ‘unlawful’ and ‘counterproductive.’
“We are of the firm view that these are unlawful, counterproductive and hence unacceptable,” Pakistan’s foreign ministry spokesman Abdul Basit said on January 31.
Sixty-four US drone strikes were carried out in Pakistan’s semi-autonomous tribal belt last year, according to AFP.
The US claims the airstrikes target Taliban militants. But locals say civilians are the main victims.
The aerial attacks, initiated by former US President George W. Bush, have escalated under President Barack Obama.
