Residents of Azam Warsak village in South Waziristan told AFP that a house was blown up by a missile fired from a pilotless drone and the loud blast was heard miles away in the rugged valley. “A house used as a den by Al-Qaeda and Afghan Taliban militants was hit by a missile. Thirteen people were killed and around 10 were wounded,” a senior Pakistani security official told AFP. “There was no immediate information about the presence of any high-value target,” the official said. A security source based in Peshawar said the missile was fired by a US drone at about 2:00 am Thursday. Another security official said most of the dead were Arabs. Armed militants cordoned off the site after the missile strike, residents said. They said four unidentified “guests” had arrived late Wednesday at the destroyed house, although their identities were not known. A spokesman for the US-led coalition force based in Afghanistan said it had “no reports” that either it or the separate NATO-headed force were involved in the strike. Pakistani forces were not immediately available to comment on the incident. (First Posted @ 10:00 PST, Updated @ 15:30 PST)<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
