Three drone strikes kill 28 in Waziristan
2010-09-22
[Pak Daily Times] At least 28 people were killed in three US led drone strikes in the remote areas of South and North Waziristan, a private TV channel reported on Tuesday.

According to sources, the first drone attack was occurred in Miranshah, where the drone aircraft pounded two missiles, killing at least nine people. In the second attack, the US led drone targeted Azam Warsak, some 25 kilometers west of Wana, the main town of South Waziristan tribal district, in which at least 12 people were killed.

The US drone fired five missiles at the office of Shamsullah, a commander of militant group, Maulvi Nazir Ahmed. Four US led drones continued to hover over the area after the attack, which caused great panic among the locals. Whereas, about seven people were killed in where the air strike targeted a vehicle in Bundh.

#5  It is a challenge to keep up with the strikes, but that is a good thing. News seems to trickle out later of 'commanders' and such no longer with us. Longwarjournal seems the most comprehensive coverage and background.

A single drone packing at least five missiles? My BS meter is twitching...

#2  Oopps. Preview didn't help this morning I guess.
The idling drones and the destroyed vehicle reportedly were separate events.

#1  I don't remember when the trend shifted, or if it's only because this is Pak News, but these are no longer 'suspected' US drones.

And the drones were pretty busy. Interesting that 4 of them stayed in orbit after targeting a car. Obviously a high priority target. I wonder who?
