Deaths reported in Pakistan drone attacks
http://english.aljazeera.net/news/asia/2011/06/2011627195913681555.html

Two US drone attacks have killed at least 21 people in Pakistan's tribal region along the Afghan border, Pakistani security officials say.

Both attacks took place on Monday in the South Waziristan region, where Pakistani forces are fighting Taliban and al-Qaeda fighters, the German news agency DPA said.

In the first attack, a missile hit a moving vehicle in Ghalmandi Panga village, killing eight fighters.

A Pakistani intelligence official said that a US drone aircraft fired four missiles at a lorry in the
Shwal valley.
