A suspected US missile strike has killed at least eight students at a religious school in north-western Pakistan, witnesses say.
The school, in North Waziristan, is close to the residence of a fugitive Taleban leader, Jalaluddin Haqqani, witnesses told the BBC Urdu Service.
At least two missiles, reportedly fired by pilotless US drones, hit the school early on Thursday.
The Pakistani army is investigating the incident. The US has made no comment.
The attack comes hours after the Pakistani parliament unanimously adopted a resolution calling on the government to defend its sovereignty and expel foreign fighters from the region.
The resolution also called upon the government to prevent the use of Pakistani territory for attacks on another country.
There have been persistent US accusations that Pakistan is not doing enough to eliminate Taleban and al-Qaeda sanctuaries in the border region.
What is there to say about this? Targeting little kids is fucking grotesque. regardless of whos missle it was.

If Pakistan did more to try and rid their country of Al-Quaeda and the Taleban, accidents like this wouldn't happen.
