A US missile strike Sunday killed five militants in North Waziristan , officials said. The drone attack hit Newey Adda village in Datta Khel area near Miranshah, the main town of North Waziristan tribal district, they said. "A US drone fired two missiles. The target was a house used by militants as a compound. Five militants have been died," a senior security official in Peshawar told AFP. Another intelligence official in Miranshah also confirmed the attack and the death toll. A third intelligence official in Miranshah said there were two "guests" among the dead.
