The unmanned aircraft fired two missiles into a compound, killing four people and destroying the mud buildings, said an intelligence official who requested anonymity.

The United States has intensified its missile strikes in the tribal belt along the border…

In the past 10 days, more than 24 people have been killed in US drone attacks in the district of North Waziristan.
