United States drones fired missiles at vehicles and a home believed to be a rebel hide-out in a tribal region of northwestern Pakistan on Wednesday, killing at least nine people. In the first attack, the drones fired four missiles at a vehicle and flattened a nearby house near Miran Shah, the main town in the North Waziristan tribal region, killing six. About 50 minutes later, drones fired three more missiles at a vehicle in Madakhel town, about 40 kilometers west of Miran Shah, killing three more.
