A MISSILE strike by a suspected US spy drone hit a house in a Pakistani tribal area bordering Afghanistan, killing at least four people and wounding nine, security officials said today.

The attack happened shortly after Pashtun tribesmen shot at three drones circling the village of Khusali Toorikhel in North Waziristan, a known haunt of Taliban and Al-Qaeda militants.

“After the drones came under fire a missile hit a house in the village. We have four dead now and another nine people were injured,” a local security official said.
