'US raid' kills four in Pakistan
|
Damage to civilian life and property has generated anti-American feelings in Pakistan
A missile fired by a suspected US drone has killed at least five people in north-western Pakistan, security officials say. The missile destroyed a house in the Bannu district, they said.
The dead include two foreigners - a term Pakistani officials use to describe al-Qaeda militants.
In recent weeks, more than 100 people - among them suspected militants and many civilians - have been killed in the tribal areas in attacks by US missiles.
The issue has become extremely sensitive in Pakistan where anti-American sentiment is rising.
Pakistan's government says unilateral American operations undermine its own counter-insurgency strategy.
