DRONESPESHAWAR: A US drone strike targeting a vehicle killed four militants in tribal belt on Tuesday, local officials said, the second such operation since the killing of Osama bin Laden.

A security official said the drones fired two missiles into South Waziristan.

Another official said the missiles fell near Angoor Adda village.

"Two missiles were fired on a vehicle at about 4:15 pm (1115 GMT) and four militants were killed," the official told AFP on condition of anonymity.

The identity of the militants was not immediately known.
