The alleged missile strike took place Friday in the Toorkhel area in North Waziristan, a tribal region filled with Al-Qaeda and Taleban fighters focused on attacking US and NATO troops across the border in Afghanistan. At least four suspected militants were killed, said Noor Ahmad, a government official, and two intelligence officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak on the record.
The exact identities of the dead were not immediately known.
