Dera Ismail Khan: Pakistani officials say a suspected US missile strike has killed nine people in a militant stronghold near the Afghan border.
Two intelligence officials said several missiles struck a disused hospital building known to be frequented by foreign militants and a tunnel in a nearby mountain, killing a total of nine militants.
The attack took place in South Waziristan, a border region considered a stronghold for both the Taliban and Al Qaida.
The officials said field agents were still trying to determine the nationalities and names of the victims.
