US drone 'kills four' in Pakistan's North Waziristan
A US drone strike has killed at least four suspected militants in the North Waziristan tribal area, security officials say, in an area known to be a stronghold of al-Qaeda and the Taliban.
The attack is the third since March, when Pakistan's parliament called for the use of drones to cease.
Pakistan says the raids serve to drive local people closer to the militants.
Washington has cut the number of drone operations but has ruled out stopping them altogether.
