Janikhel is not part of one of Pakistan's seven semi-autonomous tribal
regions, but borders North Waziristan -- a militant hotbed where
suspected U.S. drone aircraft have launched a series of missile strikes
in recent months.
A suspected U.S. drone aircraft fired two missiles at a house in
northwestern Pakistan on Wednesday, killing at least four suspected
foreign militants.
Missile-armed drones are primarily used by U.S. forces in the region,
though the United States seldom confirms drone attacks.
Several people were wounded in the pre-dawn attack, in the Janikhel
tribal area in Bannu district of North West Frontier Province.
