US drone strike kills four in Pakistan | ||
2010-11-03 | ||
A US drone attack targeted Islamist fighters in Pakistan's northwestern tribal belt on Wednesday, killing four militants and blowing their vehicle into a fireball, security officials said. Two Pakistani officials said the four militants were inside the vehicle, which was destroyed, and that a nearby house in the Qutub Khel suburb was damaged. "The drone strike killed four militants," a security official in Miranshah said on condition of anonymity. Another security official said the vehicle had been loaded with arms and ammunition. "It detonated in the attack and the vehicle caught fire - nobody can go near the vehicle," he said.
Around 200 people have been killed in nearly 40 strikes since September 3, heightening tensions with Islamabad over reported US criticism of Pakistan's failure so far to launch a ground offensive in North Waziristan. | ||

#4 It'll be even longer if the jihadis hadn't paid their fire bill. Good Muslims are grateful for the opportunity to underwrite the expenses of the mujahideen in lieu of going themselves... so of course the jihadis haven't paid! |

#2 But not as nice as when the 'rescuers' get caught in the secondaies. |

#1 It's nice when the secondary explosions keep the rescuers away. |
