US strikes kill militants

Two United States missile strikes have killed at least seven militants in a restive Pakistani tribal area bordering Afghanistan.

The first attack struck Hamzoni, a village in North Waziristan tribal district infested with Taleban and al Qaeda-linked militants.

The second attack took place in Myzer Madhakhel, another village in North Waziristan, when at least two militants travelling in a double-cabin pick-up truck were killed, four officials said.
