   Pakistani   intelligence  officials  say  a  suspected  U.S.  unmanned
   aircraft  has  fired missiles at a residence in northwestern Pakistan,
   killing at least six people.
   Authorities  say Sunday's drone attack occurred in North Waziristan, a
   tribal area on the Afghan border.
   The United States has increased drone strikes in the region as part of
   the U.S.-led war against militants in Afghanistan.
   U.S. officials rarely acknowledge such attacks.

   Some information for this report was provided by AP, AFP and Reuters.
