PESHAWAR, Pakistan -- Four people were reported killed and three others injured in a U.S. drone attack Sunday on a suspected militant hideout in the remote Shawal Valley of the North Waziristan tribal region in northwest Pakistan.
Pakistani security officials and local tribesmen said the drone fired two missiles and struck a house in Dre Nishtar village?where militants were reported to be staying.
"The area is considered a stronghold of local and foreign militants, but it is not clear at the moment who were killed in the latest drone strike," said a security official in Miranshah, North Waziristan.
The Taliban in North Waziristan had banned an anti-polio immunisation campaign in protest over U.S. drone strikes, which they claim are killing civilians.
