The remotely piloted Predators or the more advanced Reapers fired a pair of missiles at a compound in the Shawal Valley in North Waziristan, according to AFP. Pakistani officials said eight "militants," including members of the Turkistan Islamic Party, a Chinese Islamist group, were killed in the strike along with fighters loyal to Hafiz Gul Bahadar, according to The Associated Press. The compound was set afire, burning several of the bodies beyond recognition.
