US missiles kill 15 Taliban in N Waziristan

A volley of US missiles
That has a certain ring to it ...
killed 15 Taliban in North Waziristan on Friday, the second such strike in less than 12 hours, officials said.
"Welcome to Hell, gentlemen. Do make yourselves at home. I think you will appreciate our version of virgins."
Six missiles were fired on a house in a village close to the border, two intelligence officers said.
Six? Someone important inside the house or was someone a little bored while sipping a drink in their lawn chair at the AFB outside Las Vegas?
Yousaf Khan, a government administrator in Miranshah, said 15 Taliban were killed. He said officers were still gathering information about the identities of the victims.

Late on Thursday, two people were killed in another strike in North Waziristan. Officials did not say whether they were believed to be Taliban.
Possibly they were Al Qaeda, instead. It is time for a new Number Three.

"According to Waziristan sources, an Arab al-Qaeda commander by the name of Ihsanullah was killed in latest CIA drone attacks along with Turkish jihadi commander."
