A drone attack in Pakistan has killed four people, believed to be militants, reports say.
The drone attack, in north-west Pakistan, is the latest in a series of US-led missile strikes on the area, which last month killed the country's top Taliban leader, Baitullah Mehsud. The victims of today's attack have not yet been named.
Hundreds of militants and civilians have been killed in dozens of the pilotless air attacks in the past year.
In a separate incident in the country, the Associated Press news agency reports at least 18 women and girls have been crushed to death in crowds in Karachi.
AP reports at least 18 women and girls, who were waiting for free flour in Pakistan's southern city of Karachi, died today when a stampede occurred.
The report states that as women entered a small building to get flour, some began to panic and guards began using strong-arm tactics in the area.
