Four militants were killed and five wounded in a missile attack by a suspected US drone in Pakistan's North Waziristan tribal region today, security officials said.

The attack targetted the house of a tribesman, Rehman Wali, in the Mohammad Khel area, near the border with Afghanistan, where the militants were hiding.

"Apparently three missiles were fired by the drone," a witness in the area said.

The attack came a day after helicopter-borne US troops raided a village in the nearby South Waziristan region, killing 20 people.
