The airstrike took place in the Ghulam Khan village in the district of North Waziristan, a known hotbed of Taliban and Al Qaeda militants.

“The militants were retreating to their hideout in North Waziristan after an attack on Taarkhobee check post in Afghanistan. They were traced and chased by a US drone,” a Pakistani intelligence official said.

“Four people are dead, while one is injured,” said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
