US missiles kill 6 suspected militants in Pakistan

PESHAWAR, Pakistan: Pakistani intelligence officials say suspected US unmanned aircraft fired six missiles at a vehicle near the Afghan border, killing six alleged militants.

The officials say Sunday's attack occurred in the Datta Khel area of the North Waziristan tribal region. A house was also partly destroyed.

The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media.

The identities of the suspected militants killed in the strike were unknown.

1. Dead bodies="suspected militants"
Of course the dead can't proclaim their guilt or innocence.

3. Doublethink
"suspected militants" and then in the same article, "The identities of the suspected militants killed in the strike were unknown."
