MIR ALI, Pakistan (AP) — Officials say a suspected U.S. missile strike has killed 13 people in a Pakistani tribal region.
A roadside bomb aimed at police elsewhere in the country’s volatile northwest killed a civilian and wounded eight people.
The missile, apparently fired from a drone, struck a house in Haider Khel village near North Waziristan’s Mir Ali town, said two intelligence officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to media on the record.
The intelligence officials initially said three were killed, but local government official Noor Mohammad said later the toll was at least 13.
