14 Dead in Pakistan in Suspected Drone Strike

PESHAWAR, Pakistan (CNN) -- Eight Taliban militants were among 14 people who died in a missile strike Tuesday along Pakistan's border with Afghanistan, a Taliban spokesman said Wednesday.

The attack, believed to be a strike by an unmanned U.S. drone, took place in South Waziristan, which is part of Pakistan's tribal region, the Federally Administered Tribal Areas.

Local officials said Tuesday that 10 Taliban militants were killed and three were wounded. But Taliban spokesman Azam Tariq said eight Taliban militants and six locals were killed.

Tariq said two missiles struck a house used as a jihadi center in Kani Kurram.

1. Amazing how our aim has improved. Used to be 100% civilian casualties. Do the Taliban have dog tags?
