Suspected US drone strike kills 4 militants in Pakistan

Officials in Pakistan say a suspected US drone strike has killed four militants near the country's northwestern border with Afghanistan.

 

The officials say the strike Monday targeted a suspected militant hideout in the Shawal area of Pakistan's North Waziristan tribal region.

 

The two officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to disclose the information to journalists. Their account could not be independently corroborated as journalists are not allowed to work in tribal areas. American officials do not discuss the strikes, which anger many here over their civilian casualties.
