ISLAMABAD — U.S. missiles hit a suspected militant hideout, killing 16 insurgents in a troubled tribal region along the Afghan border before dawn Saturday, intelligence officials said.
The six missiles struck a site in South Waziristan. The hideout was known to be frequented by foreign fighters who were among the dead, two intelligence officials said.
The strike came as the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman, Adm. Mike Mullen, met with top military officials in Pakistan, a key U.S. ally in the battle against Islamist extremists.
