Drone strike kills four militants

A US drone strike killed at least four suspected militants in north-west on Tuesday, security officials said, the nineteenth such strike reported this year. The strike hit a house and a vehicle in Datta Khel area of the North Waziristan tribal area near the Afghan border, three security officials said.
The officials gave death tolls varying from four to seven. Exact death tolls are often hard to get because the Taliban often cordon off areas where drones have struck. One official said that the truck had foreign fighters in it and that some had jumped out just before the strike.
