LADAH, April 13: Only a day after a four-hour meeting between the heads of ISI and the Central Intelligence Agency of the United States held to reset strained ties between the two agencies, missiles fired by US drones killed seven suspected militants and injured four others near Angoor Adda in South Waziristan on Wednesday. An eyewitness said the militants had entered Waziristan from Afghanistan in two vehicles when four unmanned planes attacked them near the border village of Bagher.

The drones fired missiles at the moving vehicles and a motorbike.

Sources said that three missiles hit a pick-up carrying four people. A car and a motorbike were also destroyed.
