U.S. drone kills 12 suspected militants in Pakistan
A U.S. drone aircraft killed at least 12 suspected militants on Friday when it fired missiles at a compound in Pakistan near the Afghan border, Pakistani intelligence officials said.
The death toll from the strike in the Dattakhel region in North Waziristan could rise, the officials said.
Many Pakistanis say drone attacks that kill civilians are a violation of Pakistani sovereignty. The attacks are one of several factors straining ties between Pakistan and the United States.
The United States and Pakistan resolved one of their most heated disputes this week when U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton apologized for an air attack that killed 24 Pakistani soldiers last November.

So, has any evidence been provided showing that those who were slaughtered were indeed terrorists or had committed any criminal activities?
When and where were the trials for those suspected militants who were slaughtered?
