Pakistani security officials have said that at least eight Taliban fighters were killed following a suspected US missile drone strike in the country on Wednesday. The drones struck the North Waziristan region of Pakistan, the fourth missile attack in the area since the beginning of the week, after the US decided to step up its offensive against insurgents in the region. Three Pakistanis, three Arabs, an Uzbek and a Chechen were among the people killed by the blasts, the national intelligence agency said. The US military has not confirmed the attacks, but it and the CIA are the only organisations in the region to use the drones.
