The United States on Monday carried out its second missile strike in three days inside Pakistan. More than 30 people were reported killed after four CIA Predator drone aircraft launched at least four Hellfire missiles at a purported Taliban training camp in Pakistan’s northwest tribal area of Kurram.
It was the first US strike in Kurram, one of seven semi-autonomous tribal areas in Pakistan on the border with Afghanistan. Monday’s attack followed a missile strike on Saturday on a building in the South Waziristan tribal district that killed at least 30 people.
