Pakistan, July 8 (Prensa Latina) Another US remote-control bombing in less than 24 hours against one bordering locality in southern Waziristan Pakistani region killed at least 10 and wounded 5, reported The News TV news.
The TV News digital service noted the drone attack targeted an alleged training camp of the tribal rebels in a mountain near Afghanistan border.
The militia of Terek-e-Taliban Pakistan Movement of the clergyman Baitullah Mehsud have a main bastion in Southern Waziristan, where the US command said the main leaders of Al Qaeda group are also hidden.
At least one of those guided apparatus launched six missiles against an alleged camp in Karwan Manza area early on Wednesday.
Mehsud and his Islamist organization are also target of a strong offensive by the Pakistani government, which has displaced about 4 million people.
United States has launched over 40 of those bomb raids against border areas in Pakistani territory since Last August, killing Islamist activists but also many civilians including women and children.
Another of those remote-control attacks killed 14 and wounded many Tuesday, reported Geo News TV news.
