Local residents claimed the missile was fired by an unmanned spy plane operating from Afghanistan. Militants retrieved and buried the bodies on Wednesday and did not let local residents approach the house. The Pakistan Army has said it has no information.There have been reports of several strikes carried out in Pakistan by pilotless US drones.. But such attacks have never been confirmed by the Pakistani military, which says foreign forces will not be allowed to operate within the country.
