U.S. Strike Said to Kill Eight German Militants in Pakistan

A U.S. missile strike in Pakistan killed eight suspected German militants, two Pakistani security officials said, as governments stepped up warnings of possible terrorist attacks in Europe.

Two missiles exploded in Moussaki, an ethnic Pashtun farming village in North Waziristan, a Taliban-dominated district on the border with Afghanistan, the officials said, declining to be identified. U.S. and Pakistani officials say al-Qaeda and affiliated groups have used the district to prepare militant attacks such as the May 1 car-bomb attempt in New York’s Times Square.
