At least three people have been killed after a suspected US missile attack in Pakistan's South Waziristan region, security officials have said.The identities of the casualties were not clear, but security officials said that the target was a training camp for pro-Taliban fighters near the village of Zari Noor."It was a training camp. At the moment, we're trying to get information from the site," a security official in the region, who declined to be identified, told the Reuters news agency on Sunday.The missile attack followed a suicide car bombing on a Pakistani military convoy in the northwest of the country, which killed 27 soldiers and two civilians, on Saturday.
Shahab Ali Shah, the senior administrative official from South Waziristan tribal region, said five people had been injured on Sunday."It was a drone attack," he said.Haji Gul Zaman, who lives outside Zari Noor, said he heard two blasts and saw plumes of smoke rising from the area.
Lorries carrying pro-Taliban fighters raced toward the scene, he said.Residents said the attack flattened the compound, while a vehicle parked nearby was also destroyed.
