Suspected US missiles kill 2 in Pakistan

[The Northerner]

PESHAWAR, Pakistan -- A suspected U.S. drone fired two missiles at a house in Pakistan's rugged tribal region on Thursday, killing two insurgents from the Haqqani network - considered the most dangerous militant group fighting U.S. forces in neighboring Afghanistan, Pakistani intelligence officials said.

The strike occurred only a few miles (kilometers) from the main Islamic school run by the Haqqanis near Miran Shah, the largest town in the North Waziristan tribal area, said the officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media. The missiles hit the house five minutes apart.

The U.S. has accused Pakistan of supporting the Haqqani network and allowing the militants safe haven in North Waziristan - allegations denied by Islamabad. Washington has repeatedly called on Pakistan to attack the Haqqanis, or at least prevent them from carrying out cross-border raids, but Islamabad has refused.

In response, the Obama administration has significantly ramped up the number of drone attacks against militants in North Waziristan. The U.S. refuses to acknowledge the CIA-run program publicly, but officials have said privately that the strikes have killed many senior militant commanders.
