On the other hand intelligence officials said, Four missiles fired by two suspected U.S. pilotless aircraft hit a house in North Waziristan on Friday, killing 25 suspected militants.
An other intelligence official in the region, who requested not to be identified, told Reuters that the house was being used as a militant hideout.
"They (the militants) have surrounded the area where the attack happened and are not allowing anybody to go there," he said, adding 25 bodies had been recovered from the rubble and three women were among those killed.
Another official said some foreign militants were among the dead, but that their numbers and nationalities could not confirmed.
Area people condemned US’s claims, saying that the killed persons were innocent instead of Taliban or insurgents.
"U.S. drones fired five missiles on a compound in Spinwam, northeast of Miranshah," said a local official.
"Several people were also wounded in the attack, which took place at around 4:30 a.m.," he added.
It was the first missile strike to hit the North Waziristan since March 17 when a drone attack killed 41 people, including many civilians, causing a diplomatic furor over the unpopular US campaign.
