U.S. drone strike kills five in Pakistan N.Waziristan
(Reuters) - Four missiles fired by two suspected U.S. pilotless aircraft hit a house in Pakistan's tribal region of North Waziristan on the Afghan border on Friday, killing five militants, Pakistani intelligence officials said.

The drone strike happened in Mir Ali, a town about 35 kilometers (20 miles) east of the region's main town of Miranshah.

"We are trying to gather information but according to initial reports, five militants were killed," an intelligence official in the region, who requested not to be identified, told Reuters.

Another official also confirmed the attack and said the toll could be higher.
