ISLAMABAD (AP) -- Pakistani intelligence officials say 11 people were killed in a suspected U.S. missile strike in northwest Pakistan.
The two officials say the attack struck a suspected training facility of Pakistani Taliban leader Baitullah Mehsud early Friday in the villages of Montoi in South Waziristan. A suspected militant hide-out in Kokat Khel was also hit.
South Waziristan is part of the lawless tribal belt along Pakistan's border with Afghanistan where top Taliban and al-Qaida leaders are believed to be hiding.
The officials said they received their information from agents on the ground.
The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.
