US drones attack Pakistan's Khyber area for second day
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-south-asia-12015959
<snip>
At least 10 suspected militants have died in the second strike in as many days by US drones in Pakistan's Khyber tribal district, local officials say.

The missiles, fired from unmanned drones, hit houses in the villages of Speen Drang and Shandana, in the Tirah Valley, the officials said.

An unmanned aircraft strike killed five militants in the valley on Thursday.

Such drone strikes are credited with killing many top militants, but have roused Pakistani nationalist anger.

There have been more than 100 attacks by pilotless US aircraft in 2010, the majority of them in North Waziristan.
