A US drone strike targeting a vehicle in Pakistans northwestern tribal belt killed at least four people on Saturday, security officials said, the latest in a recent spate of attacks.The strike took place in Khawashi Khel village, five kilometres (three miles) west of Wana, the main town in the South Waziristan tribal district which borders Afghanistan.There have been a series of US drone strikes in Pakistan since a NATO conference on Afghanistan in Chicago last month.
