Suspected US drone kills five in Pakistan
A suspected US drone attack has killed at least five people in an Islamic seminary in Pakistan's north-western Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province, the BBC reported, citing reports.
Officials said at least two of those killed were militants.
The attack appears to have taken place outside the tribal area where most drone strikes are carried out.
It comes three weeks after Pakistani Taliban leader Hakimullah Mehsud died in a drone attack.
Pakistani officials said on Wednesday that the US had given assurances that there would be no further drone strikes while the government tried to engage with the Taliban.
Correspondents say this latest attack could reignite tensions between Washington and Islamabad over the issue.
