MIR ALI, Pakistan — Missiles fired from a suspected U.S. drone killed three militants today in Pakistan’s lawless tribal area along the Afghan border, intelligence officials said.
The missiles hit a house owned by a local tribesman just after midnight in Shana Khuwara village in North Waziristan, said the officials. The village is not far from the border with South Waziristan, where the army is engaged in a major anti-Taliban offensive. Many militants are believed to have fled to North Waziristan.
Later in the day TV reports said a bomb had exploded close to a courthouse in northwestern Pakistan and a doctor reported 16 people dead.
