DERA ISMAIL KHAN, Pakistan — A suspected U.S. missile strike on the house of a Taliban commander near the Afghan border killed up to 20 people Monday, Pakistani intelligence officials said.

Today’s reported strike occurred in the South Waziri stan region, part of Pakistan’s wild border zone that is considered a possible hiding place for Osama bin Laden.

Two intelligence officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to talk to the media, said the targeted house in Mandata Raghzai village belonged to a lieutenant of local Taliban chief Maulvi Nazir.
