MIR ALI, Pakistan - Intelligence officials say a suspected U.S. missile strike has killed two alleged militants in Pakistan's North Waziristan tribal region.

Two intelligence officials say the drone-fired missiles struck Naurak village early Thursday.

The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to media.

They said the missiles hit the house of a local resident. A car also was destroyed.

However, local tribesman Inayat Wazir told The Associated Press on the phone the house was empty and no one died.

The attack site is not far from South Waziristan, an al-Qaida and Taliban stronghold under assault by the Pakistani army.
