NORTH WAZIRISTAN (Dunya News) – Reports says a US drone Sunday targeted a compound in Zao Narai area of tehsil Shawal.
The compound was completely destroyed and four people were reported dead as a result of two missiles fired by the drone.
The dead persons could not be identified immediately.
Last week the United States had announced that it would drastically scaled back the number of drone attacks against militants in Pakistan
The CIA has been instructed to be more cautious with its attacks, limiting them to high-value targets and dropping the practice of so-called ``signature strikes’’ - hitting larger groups of suspected militants.
Senior American officials said the US had scaled back the number of attacks and tightened up its targeting criteria as a concession to the Pakistani army.
Pakistan has been regularly lodging protest over such attacks with the United States, terming the attacks as violation of country’s sovereignty.
16 drone strikes have taken place in Pakistan so far in 2013.
