Missile attack at militant hideout kills 30

Uzbeks, Chechens and Arabs were among about 30 militants killed in a missile attack on a suspected al-Qaida hideout in north-west Pakistan near the Afghan border, officials said today.

Several more militants were wounded when three missiles allegedly fired from Afghanistan destroyed an Islamic seminary in the border village of Mami Rogha, 25 miles west of Miran Shah, the main town in North Waziristan, two intelligence officials said.
