PESHAWAR, Pakistan (Reuters) - U.S. drones attacked militants in northwest Pakistan twice on Wednesday, killing more than 40 fighters, security officials said, while the army said the Taliban chief in Swat had been wounded.

The attacks by the pilotless U.S. aircraft were in the South Waziristan region on the Afghan border, a stronghold of Pakistani Taliban leader and al Qaeda ally Baitullah Mehsud.
A drone fired several missiles at a militant convoy in the second attack of the day, Pakistani intelligence officials said.

"The Taliban appeared to be shifting to another place when they were hit," said one of the intelligence agency officials. He and another intelligence official, as well as residents, said at least 40 militants were killed.
