Strike on Village In Pakistan Kills 4; Drone Is Suspected

MIRANSHAH, Pakistan (Reuters) — A remotely piloted United States aircraft was suspected of firing a missile into a Pakistani village early on Thursday, killing four tribesmen, residents said.
It was the latest strike aimed at a stronghold of a veteran Taliban commander, Jalaluddin Haqqani, an old friend of Osama bin Laden. The missile hit a village near Miranshah, the main town in the North Waziristan tribal region, near the Afghan border. Mr. Haqqani had established a madrasa, or religious school, in Miranshah. His extended family used to live there, as well.

Zardad Khan, a villager, said four people had been killed and three wounded in the attack. “They were all local people,” he said.
Twenty-three people, mostly relatives of Mr. Haqqani, were killed in a similar attack on the same village in September.
