WANA, Pakistan-A U.S. aircraft fired missiles on Sunday at a house in a Pakistani region known as a haven for al Qaeda and Taliban fighters, killing at least 9 militants and wounding nine, an intelligence official said.A U.S. Central Command spokesman said the missiles were not fired by any military aircraft. This leaves open the possibility it could have been a pilotless drone aircraft which the CIA has used in Pakistan.The intelligence official said four missiles were fired at the house in Shahnawaz Kheil Dhoog, a village near the town of Wana in the South Waziristan region on the Afghan border, just after 3 p.m. (1000 GMT)."It was apparently an American plane that fired precision guided missiles at the house," the official, who asked not to be identified, told Reuters.Three foreigners, an Arab and two Turkmen, were among those killed, according to the intelligence official.Villagers put the death toll at 18."Except the boundary walls, the house has been destroyed," said a senior district government official who declined to be identified."The place has been used for some time as a militant hideout," he said.To read more go to:
