Barmal- In a targeted attack in South Waziristan, American drones fired two missiles, killing four people today morning.
The drones targeted a house in the Barmal area of South Waziristan. For the first time in six months of 2014, the US halted drone strikes in Pakistan as the government engaged in peace talks with the insurgents. However, the strikes restarted on June 11, just four days before the military announced Operation Zarb-e-Azb in North Waziristan along the Afghan border. There have been at least 14 drone attacks, including today’s, in Pakistan so far this year.
