Three killed in U.S. drone attack

Pakistani intelligence officials say a U.S. missile strike has killed at least three people near the Afghan border.

The two officials said Wednesday’s attack destroyed a home in Tabbi Tool Khel village of North Waziristan. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly to the media.

The CIA has targeted homes, vehicles and militant hideouts in Pakistan’s volatile North and South Waziristan tribal regions since December when a bomber killed seven of its employees in Afghanistan.
