A missile struck a house in a northwestern Pakistan today and killed at least four suspected militants, intelligence officials said.
Two foreigners were among those killed, and several were wounded during the attack in the Janikhel tribal area.
A resident said it was a pilotless drone attack that happened before dawn.
Janikhel does not belong to one of Pakistan's seven semi-autonomous tribal regions, but it borders North Waziristan - a militant hotbed where suspected US drone aircraft have launched a series of missile strikes in recent months.

US strikes have focused on North and South Waziristan where at least 20 missile attacks and a cross-border commando raid have killed scores of people since September.
