                    7 Killed in US Drone Strike in Pakistan

   by VOA News

   Pakistani security officials say a U.S. drone strike in a restive
   Pakistani tribal region near the Afghan border has killed seven
   militants.
   Authorities say the U.S. fired four missiles on two militant vehicles
   Sunday in the Shawal district of North Waziristan, a region considered
   a stronghold of Taliban and al-Qaida insurgents.
   Four militants were killed Saturday in a drone strike in the same
   region.
   Drone strikes are a contentious issue between Washington and
   Islamabad.  Pakistan says the strikes violate its sovereignty, but the
   United States believes they are an important tool in the effort to
   defeat al-Qaida.
