Two charred bodies and the remains of a car were found in a deserted area near the border with Afghanistan on Sunday.

The unidentified bodies have been taken to Civil Hospital Quetta, reports Dawn.

The militant-infested Pak-Afghan border region in Balochistan saw unprecedented American bombardment which was authorised by United States President Barack Obama, the Pentagon said.

The Afghan officials, who spoke on the condition that they should not be named as they were not authorised to speak to media on the subject, said the drone strike took place in Balochistan's Ahmad Wal area.

The American officials said Afghan Taliban chief Mullah Mansour, the target of the strikes, was 'likely killed'.
