MIR ALI, Pakistan (AP) — Pakistani intelligence officials say a reported U.S. missile strike has killed eight suspected militants in a northwestern region near the Afghan border.
Two officials say a drone fired two missiles Friday at a compound being used by Taliban militants in a village near Mir Ali in North Waziristan. They say eight bodies were found. The intelligence officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to release the information.
The suspected drone strike is the fourth since Pakistan launched an offensive in adjacent South Waziristan in mid-October.
U.S. officials rarely discuss the missile strikes so the report couldn't be confirmed.
