A US drone strike has killed a senior commander of the Taliban-linked Haqqani militant network in north-west Pakistan, officials say.
Intelligence officials say Sangeen Zadran was among six militants killed when two missiles fired at a house in North Waziristan, near Afghanistan.
Mr Zadran had been blacklisted as a terrorist by both the US and UN.
The US has blamed the Haqqani network for a series of high-profile attacks in the border regions in recent years.
