Miranshah, Pakistan (ANTARA News/AFP) - Two US drone strikes struck Islamist militants in Pakistan`s tribal badlands on Thursday, killing at least 13 fighters in North Waziristan near the Afghan border, officials said.

The aircraft fired missiles hours apart on separate targets in what is considered the premier bastion of Taliban and Al-Qaeda in Pakistan as the government in Islamabad welcomed the Afghan and Iranian leaders for a summit. (*)
