Pakistan militant Mullah Nazir 'killed in drone attack' 3 January 2013 Last updated at 05:42 Senior Pakistani militant leader Mullah Nazir has been killed by a US drone strike in Pakistan, local security officials say. He was killed along with five fighters when two missiles struck in the north-western tribal district of South Waziristan, they said. He had been accused of sending fighters to support the Afghan Taliban and fight foreign and pro-government troops. Mullah Nazir was reportedly wounded in a suicide bomb attack in November. Analysts say he had formed an alliance with the government and opposed the Pakistani Taliban. His group is one of several Taliban factions operating in Pakistan's restive north-west - in recent years there have been divisions among these groups.
