Suspected US missile strike kills 3 in Pakistan

A suspected U.S. missile strike by a drone aircraft destroyed a vehicle in northwest Pakistan on Thursday, killing at least three foreign militants, said intelligence officials.
"This is OnStar. We received a signal that your airbags have deployed, oh...and your sunroof is open. Whoops, apparently your vehicle didn't have a sunroof..."
At least one local militant was wounded in the attack in the South Waziristan tribal region near the Afghan border, said the two officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media.
"I can say no more"
The three militants killed Thursday were from a Central Asian country, said the officials without providing further details. They said they received information about the attack from local agents.
Hmmmm Central Asian....

#3  Looks like a follow-up strike would have been in order, but I'll take what we got.
