ISLAMABAD, Pakistan - Officials and a witness say a suspected U.S. missile strike has killed two people in a militant stronghold in Pakistan.
The Monday night strike in Tabi Tolkhel village in North Waziristan tribal region appears to be the latest in a surge of alleged U.S. missile strikes on Pakistani territory.
More than 30 strikes - most in the country's northwest near the Afghan border - have been reported since August.
Villager Ajab Khan said the strike set a house on fire.
He said he saw two bodies and three wounded people taken away in a vehicle and that Taliban militants surrounded the house afterward.
Three local intelligence officials confirmed the account, citing informants.
