US strike kills four in Pakistan

---

MIRANSHAH, Sept 14 (AFP): A US missile slammed into a car killing four militants at dawn Monday in Pakistan's remote tribal belt near the Afghan border in the third attack in a week, Pakistani officials said.
The strike from a suspected US spy plane was similar to an August 5 attack that killed Baitullah Mehsud, the head of Pakistan's Taliban organisation and suspected Al-Qaeda facilitator who had a five-million-dollar price on his head.
It was the third such strike since last Monday in North Waziristan, where militants linked to Taliban and Al-Qaeda are said to have sanctuaries in Pakistan's semi-autonomous tribal belt that snakes the border with Afghanistan.
The drone fired a missile into a militant vehicle in Toori Khel village, the Pakistani officials said.
"Four militants were killed," a local government official said, requesting anonymity. Another security official said four people were wounded.
