Dec 27 (Reuters) - Following are security developments in Pakistan at 0500 on Monday.
MIRANSHAH - Five missiles fired by suspected U.S. drone aircraft struck a vehicle in Mir Ali, a major town of Pakistan's North Waziristan region on the Afghan border, killing at least four militants, intelligence officials in the region said.
There was no independent confirmation of the incident, and militant groups often dispute official death tolls.
Hours earlier, authorities found the body of a tribesman killed by suspected militants in the region on suspicions of spying for the United States. A written note lying near the body said that "anyone found to be spying for America will meet the same fate".
