A suspected US drone strike has killed eight fighters in northwest Pakistan, with Pakistani intelligence officials saying that at least five of them were Germans.
They also said that the fighters killed in the attack in Mir Ali, North Waziristan, on Monday were members of the Jihad Islami group and the Germans were of Turkish origin.
Details of the incident could not be independently verified and both the US and German governments have yet to comment on the strike.
Al Jazeera's Kamal Hyder, reporting from the Pakistan capital Islamabad, said at least three women were also killed in the raid. There are reports of some children being killed too, he said.
"What is raising the alarm bells here is that despite the fact that there may be some evidence to suggest that these people are indeed fighters, Germans in this case ... there is, of course, this apprehension that most of the time these strikes are taking place not caring about the civilian casualties."
