Missiles said to have been fired by US unmanned aircraft have killed seven people close to Pakistan's border with Afghanistan, Pakistani sources say.I HOPE AND PRAY THE FOREIGNERS KILLED WERE AL QAEDA BIGSHOTS.
Two missiles reportedly struck a house in Sararogha, in South Waziristan, and the dead are believed to include suspected militants.
The region is a stronghold of Pakistani Taleban leader Baitullah Mehsud.
US drones have targeted the area with missiles before, in attacks criticised by Pakistani politicians.
Local people said Taleban militants had been operating from the house which was attacked.
When asked about the attack, Adm Mike Mullen, chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, said he would not talk about the specifics of US operations.
But, speaking to Fox News, he added that the military overall was "carrying out guidance from [US] President [Barack] Obama" in the region.
'Taleban sanctuary'
A villager, named by Reuters news agency as Hakeemullah, said that people were searching the rubble for more casualties.
"It was a Taleban sanctuary, which was destroyed in the attack," an unnamed Pakistani security official told AFP news agency.
"Some foreigners were possibly among those killed."
At least four of the dead are believed to have been foreign militants, unnamed Pakistani officials told the Associated Press.
