Suspected U.S. drone kills 4 in Pakistan

PESHAWAR, Pakistan (Reuters) – A suspected U.S. drone aircraft fired two missiles into a northwestern Pakistani militant stronghold Wednesday killing four people, Pakistani security officials said.

The United States has carried out more than 40 attacks with its pilotless, missile-firing aircraft in northwest Pakistan this year as it forces in neighboring Afghanistan have faced an intensifying Taliban insurgency.

The late night attack was in the North Waziristan region on the Afghan border, 20 km (12 miles) west of the town of Miranshah, the intelligence agency and paramilitary force officials said.

Pakistan officially objects to the U.S. drone strikes, saying they violate its sovereignty.
