A suspected U.S. drone fired two missiles on Thursday into Pakistan's South Waziristan region on the Afghan border, killing three foreign militants and wounding one, Pakistani intelligence agents said. U.S. forces in Afghanistan, frustrated by a spreading Taliban insurgency that is getting support from militant enclaves in northwest Pakistan, have stepped up strikes by pilotless drones despite Pakistani objections.Happy New Year Y'all!One of the two intelligence officials confirming the attack said one missile hit militants travelling in a double-cabin pick-up truck. The other hit a nearby militant hideout in Karikot village near Wana, the main town in the lawless region. "It was a precision strike as there have been no civilian casualties. All the dead and wounded were militants from Turkmenistan," the official said.
