19 die in US missile attacks
US missiles hit buildings in two Pakistani villages close to the Afghan border, killing about 19 people, most of them suspected militants including some foreigners, officials said today.
The US has launched a flurry of strikes in recent weeks against suspected al-Qaeda and Taliban targets in north-western Pakistan.
Pakistan has been unwilling or unable to eliminate militant sanctuaries blamed for violence on both sides of the frontier.
