<b>Four dead in suspected drone attack in South Waziristan </b><!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->âThe drone was flying very low and as soon as militants in a truck opened fire at it, a missile was fired that hit the vehicle and killed three militants,â Reuters quoted a resident as saying.
âDrones initially flew over mountains around Gangi Khel, where the Taliban have some positions. There was some ground fire towards one of the drones and they left the area,â AFP quoted a security official as saying.
Gangi Khel is a village around five kilometres (three miles) west of Wana, the main town in the semi-autonomous South Waziristan district.
âDrones returned after some time and targeted a vehicle, which was parked near some shops. Three people were killed in the attack. Four others were wounded â they were either shopkeepers or local residents,â the official said.
