Wana: A missile strike in Southern Waziristan has killed 13 people, including foreigners early on Thursday, officials and residents said.
The missile hit a house near the Kaloosha village, which is along the border of Afghanistan, an area believed to have high Al Qaida activity.
Intelligence officials and residents said 13 people, including ten Arabs, were killed in the attack, which also injured seven others.
That missile was believed to have been fired by a US pilotless drone.
This is the latest attack in a series of moves made by US forces over the border in Afghanistan. The most recent one in January claimed the life of two of Osama bin Laden's top lieutenants.
