MIR ALI: Al least ten people have been killed and many others injured in a US drone attack here on Friday.
According to eyewitnesses, the drone fired three missiles.
"There was a missile strike just outside Mir Ali, in North Waziristan. The strike was at 5:10 pm and targeted a house of a man, Khalil," said one security official.
The US military and Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) operating in neighbouring Afghanistan are the only forces that deploy drones in the region.
It was the first suspected US missile strike since US President Barack Obama was inaugurated on Tuesday and comes one day after he appointed Richard Holbrooke as special envoy for Afghanistan and Pakistan.
