<p>A suspected US missile strike in Pakistan&#8217;s north west has killed at least 18 people, intelligence officials said.</p>
<p>They said six missiles struck two vehicles in the Shera Tala area of the North Waziristan tribal region, and the death toll could rise further.</p>
<p>North Waziristan has been the primary target of a ramped up campaign of American missile strikes fired from drones aimed at taking out al Qaida and Taliban fighters.</p>
<p>The area is a major stronghold for insurgents fighting US and Nato troops across the border in Afghanistan.</p>
<p>At least 110 US missile strikes have been launched this year &#8211; more than doubling last year&#8217;s total. </p>
<p>Shera Tala lies in Mir Ali district, where militants are heavily concentrated. The exact identities of the 18 dead were not immediately clear.</p>
<p>The vehicles were apparently leaving a compound, and one was carrying a large load of ammunition, magnifying the blasts from the missile strikes, the intelligence officials said.</p>
