A US drone strike has killed a senior commander in the al-Qaeda-linked Haqqani network, wanted for kidnappings and sending hundreds of foreign fighters into Afghanistan, Pakistanis say.

Mullah Sangeen Zadran, whom the US blacklisted as a terrorist in August 2011, was among six Haqqani network fighters killed in the overnight strike in North Waziristan.

Two announcements said his funeral would take place at 3pm local time on Friday.

His death was confirmed by two Pakistani intelligence officials, adding that an Arab fighter was also among the dead.

Meanwhile, the Pakistani government has called for an end to the US drone campaign in its tribal regions following the strike.
