Suspected US Drone Strike Kills 3 in Pakistan

Source: VOA

Pakistan intelligence officials say a US drone attack has killed at least three militants in a tribal region along the country's border with Afghanistan.

Officials say the drone fired two missiles at a vehicle in South Waziristan.

The identity of the militants was not immediately known.

Pakistani officials have called for an end to the strikes, which they say are a violation of the country's sovereignty. U.S. officials have never publicly acknowledged the use of drone strikes against militants inside Pakistan but have privately confirmed their existence to various media outlets.
