Three people were killed Sunday in a suspected US missile attack targeting a militant hideout in Pakistan's tribal area bordering Afghanistan, officials said. "It was a drone attack," local administration official Shahab Ali Shah said. He said two missiles hit a house in Gangi Khel town in the tribal South Waziristan district. Another official speaking on condition of anonymity said the attack targeted a militant hideout where three people were killed. He gave no details. A security official confirmed that death toll, saying that five other people were wounded. The targeted house, belonging to a local tribesman, was "destroyed in the strike," he said. Three people were killed in a similar attack in the area earlier this month.
