PESHAWAR - Five people were killed when an unmanned US predator targeted a suspected vehicle and house in North Waziristan Agency Monday.

The vehicle was going to Datta Khel from Degan when it came under attack. As a result, the vehicle caught fire and reduced to ash. Over 100 raids were reported in the area in 2010, and more than 60 took place last year of 2011. Such attacks by the unmanned aircraft appear to have been resumed from January 10.
