Six people have died in a second missile strike by a suspected US drone in as many days in
north-west Pakistan, officials and residents say.
At least three to four missiles hit a suspected training camp for militants in South Waziristan early
on Wednesday, witnesses said.
At least 12 militants were killed in a similar attack in the area on Tuesday.
The attacks are targeting a stronghold of Pakistan's top Taliban commander, Baitullah Mehsud, in
South Waziristan.
There have been dozens of such strikes since last August, killing hundreds of militants and
civilians.
Most of the strikes have taken place in the tribal regions of North and South Waziristan.
