Probe urged after Pak missile strike kills 30

Excerpt:
"Human Rights Watch called on Pakistan Wednesday to allow an independent investigation into a suspected missile strike that killed around 30 alleged Al Qaeda militants.

A massive blast on Tuesday destroyed a madrassa in the volatile North Waziristan tribal area bordering Afghanistan, which officials said was being used as a militant training camp and bomb factory.

A senior intelligence official and residents said up to three missiles fired from Afghanistan where US-led troops are active hit the building, although the Pakistani army said the blast was caused by explosives at the site.

Some residents said local children may have been among the dead."
