Doga Madakhel is a village in Datta Khel area of North Waziristan. <br /> <br />DATTA KHEL (Dunya News) - At least six people were killed in a drone strike in Doga Madakhel area of North Waziristan on Thursday. <br />According to local sources, the drone fired two missiles on a house. It has been learnt that Doga Madakhel has not been cleared of terrorists so far. <br />This is the third drone strike since the US resumed its drone programme in Pakistan following the Karachi attack. <br />Earlier in June, two drone attacks were carried out in Dargah Mandi area of North Waziristan, killing 16 militants. <br />Washington reportedly suspended its drone programme in December to give Islamabad time to pursue a dialogue process with the Pakistani Tehreek-e-Taliban (TTP) aimed at ending a seven-year insurgency that has claimed thousands of lives. <br />However the peace process was shattered when the Taliban launched an attack on the airport in Karachi on June 9 that left dozens dead.
