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.

Imagine for a moment what would happen if a US school was hit by missiles from a foreign country.
What is the cost we are willing to pay to fight these terrorists? Aren't these Pakistani civilians just as valuable as those lost on 9/11?
You may argue that Pakistan is not doing everything it can to help track these people down, but that should not be an excuse for this.
