Suspected militants killed in missile attack in Pakistan
Updated
Officials in Pakistan say three suspected militants have been killed in a missile strike in the troubled North Waziristan tribal area which borders Afghanistan.
A security official says the missile was fired from an unmanned aircraft and hit a house, which had been rented by the suspected militants.
There has been a series of missile strikes on militants in Pakistan in recent weeks attributed to US-led coalition forces or CIA drones based in Afghanistan.
At least five people were killed when a missile fired from Afghanistan hit a suspected rebel hideout Saturday in neighbouring South Waziristan.
The area is a known hub of Al-Qaeda activity.
