However, the Pakistani Taliban leadership did not officially confirmed the death. Missiles hit a house close to Miranshah town in northwest Pakistan early Wednesday. The strike came a week after US President Barack Obama issued new guidelines for tighter scrutiny of the drone programme and stricter targeting rules. A senior Taliban source in Miranshah told the BBC that one of those killed in Wednesday&#39;s drone strike was Waliur Rehman, the No.2 commander of the Pakistani Taliban. The US government had placed a $5 million bounty on his head, accusing him of involvement in attacks on coalition forces in Afghanistan. These included the 2009 bombing of a US base in which seven CIA agents were killed.u00a0
