A missile attack by an unmanned US drone aircraft in north-west Pakistan has killed eight people, Pakistani security officials said. The missiles struck a camp about 10km about (six miles) south-east of Miranshah, North Waziristan, near the Afghan border, according to the (BBC). Pakistan has previously complained that such attacks violate its sovereignty.

Last month US President Barack Obama defended the use of drones to target militants in Pakistan''s tribal areas.
Militants have surrounded the compound and are removing the dead bodies. The US does not normally comment on drone operations, which have killed hundreds of people in recent years.
The dead include senior al-Qaeda and Taliban leaders, as well as an unknown number of other militants and civilians.
