KHAR: At least 20
militants belonging to the Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) were reportedly
killed in a US
drone attack in the
Kunar province of Afghanistan on Wednesday, sources said.
The sources said the attack was carried out in the Sultankhel area in
Kunar in which 20 militants, including Abdullah, the son of the TTP head Mullah Fazlullah, were killed. The sources said the US drones fired three missiles on the militants' compound and training camp.
They said majority of those
killed were would-be suicide bombers and one of their trainers. Six
militants were also injured in the attack. Maulana Fazlullah escaped to Afghanistan's
Kunar province when the Pakistan military launched an operation against his
militants in Swat in May 2009.
