US missile kills 5 militants in Pakistan: Officials

Mir Ali (Pakistan): Intelligence officials say a suspected US  missile strike has killed five alleged militants in northwestern Pakistan.

The officials say Sunday's strike targeted a house belonging to a local militant in the town of Datta Khel in the North Waziristan tribal area. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media.

There have been at least 14 suspected US  missile strikes this month, the most intense barrage since they began in 2004.
