Islamabad, January 01: Pakistani intelligence officials say a U.S. missile strike has killed three people near the Afghan border.
The two officials said early Friday’s attack destroyed a car carrying three men in a village near Mir Ali, which is a main town in North Waziristan.
It was the second such attack in the region in the last 12 hours.
A U.S. drone missile strike on late Thursday also killed three people.
The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly to the media.
Pakistan is a key ally of Washington in its war on terror but it has publicly opposed such attacks, saying they are counterproductive.
