US missiles kill twenty in Pakistan
2011-06-08
US missiles have struck a terrorist militant training camp in Pakistan's tribal district of North Waziristan, killing 20 terrorists fighters close to the Afghan border.
Good. More, faster, please.
The camp in the Shawal area was run by terrorists fighters loyal to Pakistani terrorist warlord Hafiz Gul Bahadur, whose loyalists attack in Afghanistan, and was targeted by five US missiles at around 5pm (AEST) today, the Pakistani security officials said.

"The death toll is 20. It is likely to go up," a senior security official told AFP. Foreign terrorists and terrorists militants from Pakistan's central Punjab province were thought to be among the dead, he added.

Local officials in Miranshah, the main town of North Waziristan, also confirmed the attack and the death toll.

Local residents described the camp as a major terrorist training centre on the top of a hill surrounded by trees and ice cold natural springs.

#12  Never probably. He's likely one of the Saudi prince's shower boys. His biggest fear is probably being caught by the religious police while dressed in his usual clothes. Women's.

#4  Five's a lot of shots. Wonder if they targeted the clean up crew?

Difference between a 20lb warhead and 500lb bomb. I'd like to see the US bomb every Pakistani jihadi camp barracks at 3AM one night.

#3  Up to 23...

The strikes occurred within minutes of each other, the four Pakistani intelligence officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to brief the media.

One missile hit a vehicle carrying five men, while the other struck a nearby compound, killing 18 people in the Shawal area, which lies along the border that separates the South and North Waziristan tribal regions.
