ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — Missiles fired from a remotely-piloted United States aircraft slammed into a village in the North Waziristan region of Pakistan along the Afghan border on Friday and killed between 10 and 13 people, according to a local intelligence official, a Pakistani reporter and two Pakistani television channels.
State television put the death toll at 10 and other news reports said the dead included eight local people and five foreigners. The deaths were the latest fatalities in a string of American missile attacks that have drawn increasingly irate protests from Pakistan to senior American officials, including the head of the United States Central Command, Gen. David H. Petraeus, and the American ambassador here, Anne Patterson.
The Pakistani President, Asif Ali Zardari, and the Prime Minister, Yousaf Raza Gilani, both condemned Friday’s attack.
Since an American commando raid on Pakistani soil in early September, there have been reports of more than 15 American strikes directed at militants hiding out in the tribally-ruled Waziristan region.
