A US drone fired missiles into a Pakistani tribal area bordering Afghanistan on Friday, but there were no immediate reports of casualties, officials said. The strike took place in Mir Ali village, some 16 kilometers (10 miles) northeast of Miranshah, the main town of the restive North Waziristan tribal district, a senior security official told AFP. Another security official confirmed the drone strike, but had no details about the target or casualties. US missiles fired from an unmanned drone killed six militants, including three foreigners -- a word used in Pakistan to refer to Al-Qaeda operatives -- in North Waziristan, Pakistani officials said Thursday. ¬
