U.S. missiles slammed into a former school where Pakistani Taliban leaders were meeting Thursday, killing 12 people near the Afghan border in a strike that may have been aimed at the insurgents' top commander.

The militant chief, Hakimullah Mehsud, was not among the victims, intelligence officials and militants told The Associated Press.

The strike was the eighth such attack in two weeks in Pakistan's North Waziristan tribal region.

At least two missiles hit the Pasalkot area of North Waziristan around 7 a.m. Thursday, landing in a sprawling compound that has been used as a religious school in the past.
