WANA: A suspected US missile attack in South Waziristan killed two relatives of top Taliban commander Baitullah Mehsud here Wednesday.The missile apparently fired by a US drone hit a house in Sararogha area of the agency, says the channel.
The house belongs to father-in-law of local Taliban commander Baitullah Mehsud, identified as Akramud Din, who was also killed in the attack, it was reported.
Meanwhile, The Associated Press has reported citing unnamed Pakistani intelligence officials that the suspected U.S. missile strike killed two relatives of Baitullah Mehsud, top Pakistani Taliban leader.
One of the officials said it was not clear whether Mehsud himself was in the house at the time, but that he was known to often visit.
The second official said agents were trying to get details about the woman who died in the attack.
Mehsud is the head of Tehrik-e-Taliban, a militant group blamed by Pakistan for the assassination of the country’s ex-premier, Benazir Bhutto, in a gun-and-bomb attack near the capital Islamabad in December 2007.
He is also accused of organizing dozens of other suicide attacks in Pakistan.
Pakistan’s air force and the military have carried out several attacks targeting Mehsud, and the army has said it is preparing for a major offensive against Mehsud and his network in the tribal region.
Wednesday morning’s attack is the latest in a series of suspected U.S. missile strikes in recent weeks targeting Mehsud.
