A missile strike by a suspected US drone killed at least three people in a Pakistani tribal region near the Afghan border, two Pakistani intelligence officials said Wednesday.
The strike came amid reports that Pakistan's top Taliban leader, Baitullah Mehsud, had fallen ill and died. Officials have accused Mehsud over the slaying of former leader Benazir Bhutto.
The two intelligence officials said the missiles struck the home of a local Taliban commander before midnight Tuesday near Mir Ali, a town in the North Waziristan region.
The officials, citing reports from their field agents, said at least six people were also wounded in the attack. Both officials asked for anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to media.
