Eight students have been killed after a religious school in north-western Pakistan was hit by a United States missile.
The school, in North Waziristan, is said to be close to the residence of a fugitive Taleban leader, Jalaluddin Haqqani.
At least two missiles, reportedly fired by pilotless US drones, hit the school early this morning.
The Pakistani army is investigating the incident.
The US has reportedly refused to comment on the matter.
The attack comes hours after the Pakistani parliament unanimously adopted a resolution calling for the government to defend its sovereignty and expel foreign fighters from the region.
