Suspected US missile strike kills 4 in Pakistan




A suspected US drone aircraft fired a missile in the North Waziristan tribal region of Pakistan killing at least four people, according to Pakistani intelligence officials.

 

The attack on a house near the town of Mir Ali came just two days after Pakistan lodged a protest with the US ambassador over missile attacks on its territory. "According to our information two missiles were fired by the drone on a house... Four people were killed," an intelligence officer in the region said. Another officer said three missiles were fired.
