Up to 18 said dead as missiles hit Pakistan border from Afghanistan

ISLAMABAD - Aircraft from Afghanistan killed as many as 18 people after firing two or three missiles into a village stronghold of pro-Taleban Islamists in Pakistan early on Friday, a resident and a security official said.

The incident in Bajaur tribal region came just days after Pakistan lodged a strong protest with US-led forces in Afghanistan, saying cross-border firing in the nearby Waziristan area last weekend killed eight people.
