Suspected US drones fired two missiles into a Pakistani region regarded as an al Qaeda and Taliban safe haven, killing at least five militants.

It was the second such attack in North Waziristan tribal region on the Afghan border this week.

An intelligence official says five militants were killed in the attack and a number of unidentified foreigners.

The Pentagon has made no comment on the report.
