ISLAMABAD, Pakistan - Missiles hit a religious school Monday in a village just inside Pakistan’s border with Afghanistan, killing six people, officials and state media said.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility, but the incident follows a series of strikes apparently by U.S. aircraft in recent months against militant leaders holed up in Pakistan’s tribal belt.
The blasts occurred hours before President Bush was to receive Pakistan’s prime minister at the White House amid mounting pressure on Islamabad to act against Taliban and al-Qaida strongholds in its territory.
According to state-run Pakistan Television, the missiles came down in Azam Warsak, a village in the South Waziristan region. It said six people were killed and several others injured.
PTV didn’t identify the source of its information or provide any other details.
Two Pakistani intelligence officials told The Associated Press that the missiles hit an Islamic school in the village.
One of the officials, who is based in Tank, a town near South Waziristan, said initial reports indicated that the six dead included three children and three adults.
