US drone kills 45 people attending a funeral for relatives killed by US drone
At least 45 people have died in a missile strike by a US drone aircraft in a Taliban stronghold area of Pakistan, officials there have said.
The people killed in South Waziristan had been attending a funeral for others killed in a US drone strike earlier.
Intelligence officials said at least 45 people had been killed and dozens more injured in the later strike, when two missiles were fired, but a local official told BBC News the death toll was more than 50.
