US drones kill 9 militants in Pakistan strikes

Suspected US drones killed nine militants in Pakistan in two separate strikes targeting fighters, officials said Friday.
According to dpa, the unmanned aircraft fired missiles at a compound and a vehicle in North Waziristan near the Afghan border, said a military official who requested anonymity.
At least five militants, including foreigners, were killed in the attack, which occurred late Thursday night, he said.
Hours later, another strike in neighbouring South Waziristan killed four more militants, including Arab fighters from al-Qaeda, said an intelligence official who asked not to be named.
The identities of the dead militants were not immediately known.
