MIR ALI, Pakistan (AP) - Pakistani officials say suspected U.S. missiles have killed five people in a tribal region near the Afghan border.
Two intelligence officials say three missiles hit a house in a village near Miran Shah, the main town in North Waziristan, on Friday evening.
They say the identity of the slain is not yet clear. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to release the information to the media.
The region is dominated by the Haqqani network, an Islamist militant group bent on driving U.S. and NATO troops out of Afghanistan.
The strike came hours after a suicide bombing targeting minority Shiites killed 43 people in the southwestern city of Quetta.
