Sources say the projectiles landed well at their target converting the vehicle in to a fire ball as at least four people on board died on the spot and their bodies were burnt badly going beyond recognition.

The officials, as usual, said those killed were the suspected militants and the predator planes struck on the vehicle on a tip off, the locals say it was extremely difficult to say as to who were the victims of the fresh missiles hit as the bodies were badly mutilated and they might be the local tribesmen.

The US drones killed at least four people who might be the Taliban militants when their vehicle was hit by two missiles in the suburbs of Miran Shah”. Security officials said.

The infamous drones, as the reports say, again struck at Paee Khel closed to Miran Shah targeting another vehicle this time also targeting a suspected vehicle killing yet another four people aboard the vehicle.
