PESHAWAR, June 14 (Reuters) - A suspected U.S. drone aircraft fired a missile at a vehicle carrying Taliban in Pakistan's South Waziristan region on Sunday, killing three militants, a tribal leader and an intelligence official said.

"The missile destroyed the vehicle and I saw three bodies lying next to it," ethnic Pashtun tribal leader Habibullah Mehsud told Reuters by telephone from the region on the Afghan border.
