A suspected U.S. drone aircraft fired a missile on Sunday killing three militants in northwest Pakistan, officials said. The strike on Sunday was in Laddah, in the South Waziristan region, about 60 km (40 miles) north of the region's main town of Wana. "The missile destroyed the vehicle and I saw three bodies lying next to it," ethnic Pashtun tribal leader Habibullah Mehsud told Reuters by telephone from the region on the Afghan border. A government official in the region confirmed the attack, saying drones had been flying over South Waziristan since early in the morning.
