Two US drone strikes Monday killed at least 15 alleged militants linked to Al Qaeda in Pakistan's tribal region along the Afghan border, intelligence officials said.
An unmanned aircraft fired four missiles into a suspected Al Qaeda training centre in the early hours in Birmal area, 13 km west of Wana, the main town in South Waziristan district.
'Seven people died in the attack,' a local intelligence official said on condition of anonymity. 'Three Arabs and two Turkmen are among the dead,' the official added. The other two alleged militants were locals, he said.
