At least 11 people were killed early Friday, including six foreign fighters, in a suspected US missile strike on Pakistan's troubled border region of North Waziristan, a security official and an eyewitness said.
Wazir, who lives in the village of Garyum, said that he tried to visit the targeted village after the attack but that local Taliban had encircled the whole area and would not allow any outsider to enter. Wazir said Taliban loyalists were enraged over the presumed U.S attack and could be heard chanting slogans of 'death to America.'
Wazir said that Waladin is in a remote border area of North Waziristan and is one of strongholds of Baitullah Mehsud, the most influential Taliban commander in Pakistan. Mehsud has been blamed for the assassination of former prime minister Benazir Bhutto and many other suicide bombings and terrorist acts across the country.
