A commander in al Qaeda's military organization was among 17 Islamist extremists killed during today's strikes in the Taliban-controlled tribal agency of North Waziristan in Pakistan.
Zuhaib al Zahibi, a commander in al Qaeda's Shadow Army, or the Lashkar al Zil, was among seven Arab "foreigners" and nine Taliban fighters killed in one of two airstrikes in the Datta Khel region in North Waziristan, a senior US military intelligence official told The Long War Journal. Two other Taliban fighters were also killed in an earlier, separate strike in the Datta Khel region.
Zahib and the six al Qaeda and nine Haqqani Network fighters were killed after a swarm of five or six unmanned strike aircraft, the Predator or its more lethal successor the Reaper, opened fire on a series of targets. Ten Hellfire missiles were launched by the remotely piloted aircraft against a safe house, a cave, and a vehicle.

I do hope Saracuda gets elected in 2012. I think I can talk her into a more "robust" war - complete with ARCLIGHT strikes, napalm, and flechette rounds. After she takes out the UN, then she can hit the other Anti-US, anti-freedom center of corruption, Brussels. With those two out of the way, we can finish the war in Afghanistan and Iraq with little trouble.

A cruise missle strike on a base big enough to house 400 fighters seems like underkill. I would have thought that leveling the place with 500 pound bombs would have been killed more. Alternately, you could beef up the ground portion of the air-ground attack.

Regardless of manner of attack most causalties would be civilian camp followers. And given the involvement of the Yemen government, any significant targets would have been clued to get away before the attack anyway.

Why should I give a rat's ass about some al qaeda sperm receptacle camp follower who agrees with the jihadi ideology of mass murder. In fact, I salute their deaths and will light off a few bottle rockets this New Year for the brave sacrifice made by our Hellfires and Tomahawks.

F*ck most of the world. Put the names of the top Liberal enclaves, and wherever most of the hand wring and bleating comes from, on a big (The Price is Right) wheel. Spin the F*CKING wheel and
obliterate nuke whatever local the arrow lands on.
Do that twice a week like a Lottery or something and the bleating and hand wringing would stop. I imagine only two...maybe three cities at most would have to be incinerated. Time, way, past time to go Viking on...well...just about every one. Especially here.
Hoist the Jolly Roger and start the killing. Arrrgh!
Yemen's Houthi fighters say scores of civilians, including many children, have been killed in US air-raids in the southeast of the war-stricken Arab country.
The Shia fighters on Friday reported the deaths of 63 people, including some 28 children, in the southeastern province of Abyan.
Almost 90 people were also injured in the attacks by US warplanes in the village of Bakazam, they added.
These would be the warplanes of the Royal Saudi Air Force, flown by Saudi pilots.
Nah, they're the Ruritanian Air Force. They fly F16s. Have a big lavender ostrich feather on the vertical stabilizer, that's how you tell.
Yemen's southern provinces have recently been the scene of US airstrikes which Washington claims to be aimed at uprooting an al-Qaeda cell operative in the Persian Gulf state.
"American genocidaires!!!!"
But the residents of the area dismiss the claims that al-Qaeda members are being targeted in the US attacks, while a Yemeni lawmaker has also called for an investigation into the raids.
The US operation in southern Yemen comes on top of a joint Saudi-Yemeni military campaign in the country's war-weary north where Sana'a and Riyadh forces are engaged in a fierce fighting against the Houthi fighters.
The Houthis, who accuse the Sunni-dominated Sana'a government of discrimination and repression against Yemen's Shia minority, were the target of the army's off and on attacks before the central government launched an all-out fighting against them in early August.
Saudi Arabia joined the operation later following alleged clashes between its border guards and the Houthis, carrying out regular airstrikes and ground incursions against the fighters.
On Friday, the Houthis said over 160 missiles hit regions along the border with the neighboring kingdom, which they accuse of pounding civilians in villages within the Yemeni territory.
The Saudis have conducted more than 70 air raids in less than 24 hours.

We probably do it because we are just plain evil.
Get me some photographs of the aircraft making their strikes, a little portable Vidcam would do it. If you dont have any pics are we supposed to take your word for it? What ARE the insignia on the wings and tail FOR?
Then do some fact checking concerning if the Saudis EVER bought any American manufactured fighter jets. That does enter the realm of possibility. What Middle Eastern country full of technically skilled Moslems manufactures their OWN fighter jets?
Do Moslems HAVE to BUY their weapons from more "advanced" countrys ? They do? WHY is that? Is it because Moslem countries are goombah shiiteholes where they have to import just about everything but the camels? yeah?
Moslems cant even manufacture their own ball point pens.
Why is that? Wouldnt have anything to do with the fact that whatever Islam touches is about as worthless afterwards as toilet paper after you wipe with it, would it?
Palestine will be ours, they said. Everybody (especially the Moslems themselves) knows that the only thing Moslems can fly is holes in the ground. So ( ergo) it HAS to be Americans flying those jets, right?
In your dreams, Big Nose.
At least 13 civilians have lost their lives in a series of air strikes by Saudi military air planes along the border between Yemen and the oil-rich kingdom, Houthi fighters say.
The Saudi Air Force continued to bomb along the Yemeni-Saudi border, including the Jebel al-Dukhan, Jebel al-Rumayh, Jebel al-Madoud, al-Jabiri as well as other border towns.
More than 70 air strikes were conducted by Saudi warplanes over the past 24 hours. The beleaguered regions were struck by around 165 air-to-surface missiles. Some thirteen civilians were killed and scores of others sustained wounds in the air raids, according to the Houthis.
The conflict in northern Yemen began in 2004 between Sana'a and Houthi fighters but it intensified in August 2009 when the Yemeni army launched 'Operation Scorched Earth' in an attempt to crush the fighters in the northern province of Sa'ada.
The Houthis accuse the Yemeni government of violation of their civil rights, political, economic and religious marginalization as well as large-scale corruption.
The Saudi and US air forces have further complicated the conflict by launching their own operations against Shia resistance fighters.
Houthi fighters say that Riyadh and Washington pound their positions and that Saudi forces strike Yemeni villages and indiscriminately target civilians. According to the fighters, Saudis use toxic materials, including white phosphorus bombs, against civilians in northern Yemen.
The UN High Commissioner for Refugees estimates that since 2004, up to 175,000 people have been forced to leave their homes in Sa'ada and take refuge at overcrowded camps set up by the United Nations.

"flesh-eating" White Phosphorous?

wave your fist at the sky and call on Allah to bail your turbaned a66, curse you Red Baron!
The U.S. has launched two missile strikes against Al Qaeda targets in Yemen, two U.S. officials told Fox News, signaling an escalation of the Obama administration's fight against the terrorist organization.
Drone-zap!
The politically sensitive strikes Thursday, first reported by ABC News, supplement efforts already under way by the government of Yemen to go after Al Qaeda in the country, the officials told Fox News, speaking on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the operation.
Such an operation is particularly sensitive in Yemen. "It's very difficult for Yemen to ask the U.S. for help given the nature of their population and its views about the West," one official said. "And the U.S. doesn't want to compromise their ability to ask for help."
A Georgian cargo plane carrying North Korean weapons was not impounded in Thailand during a refueling stop, as previously believed, but was forced to land by fighter planes after it entered Thai airspace, the influential Russian daily Kommersant reported Thursday.
The Ilyushin Il-76 left Pyongyang on Dec. 12. The moment it entered Thai airspace, two Thai fighters on standby ordered it to land at Don Mueang Airport in Bangkok based on a tip-off from a foreign intelligence agency, the daily said.
That's one for the good guys at CIA ...
The Thai government announced that the plane was impounded after it landed for refueling and checks of wheels and tires. The news suggests that the cargo plane, which was attempting to carry North Korean weapons to a foreign country in disregard of a UN embargo, was stopped in Thai airspace before it could proceed to a scheduled refueling stop to Sri Lanka.
Thai daily The Nation said that an English-language weapons manual was discovered in the process of checking the North Korean arms. There is speculation that the weapons might not have originated from North Korea, the daily added.
According to Thai law, the five crewmembers face a sentence between two years in jail and death depending on whether they were attempting to deliver the weapons to a war zone.
Oh, let's make it death, just to see what happens next ...

NEW DELHI: A Delhi Court on Saturday acquitted a suspected Hizb-e-Islami militant on charges of carrying RDX four years ago. Additional Sessions Judge Madhu Jain absolved Nazir Ahmed Khan, 42, of various charges under the Explosive Substances Act.
Khan, a resident of Mendser in Jammu and Kashmir, was apprehended by Delhi Police's special cell on June 4, 2005 from Daryaganj on a tip off.
The police allegedly recovered 490 gram of RDX from his possession. The Court, however, in its judgement allowed a contention of defence counsel M S Khan that the police had failed to take mandatory sanction for prosecution of the accused from the competent authority (District Magistrate/Divisional Commissioner) under the Act.
According to the defence counsel, the mandatory sanction was a condition precedent of the trial but in this case the prosecution took the sanction from Commissioner of Police which was invalid. The prosecution which later obtained fresh sanction from Divisional Commissioner, however, could not impress upon the court which acquitted the accused.

[Iran Press TV Latest] As violence declines at the India-Pakistan border, New Delhi pulls out 30,000 troops from Kashmir, the biggest withdrawal since 1999.
India's Defense Minister A.K. Antony talking to reporters on Friday said, "The Indian Army, by their own initiative, have withdrawn two divisions (30,000 men)."
According to local media outlets, the troops were pulled out two months ago from the state's southern Rajouri and Poonch sectors in a move seen as a confidence-building measure to get Kashmiri separatists, especially the hardliners, on board for peace talks.
If the situation improves further, he said, there will be more troop withdrawals. "It is because of the presence of the armed forces that we have been able to counter terrorism in the state," Antony added.
The Indian-administered Kashmir, one of the most militarized zones in the world, was affected by a separatist insurgency for decades and has been the root of tensions between the two nuclear-armed neighbors.
The pullout was one of the biggest since 1999, when India and Pakistan fought a six-week undeclared war in the Himalayan peaks in which some 1,000 soldiers on both sides died.
India and Pakistan have fought three wars since their independence, two of them over Kashmir. Both claim the region in its entirety -- two-thirds is administered by India and the rest by Pakistan.
New Delhi has repeatedly accused Islamabad of fuelling separatist insurgency in the part of Kashmir it administers. The violence has left more than 45,000 people dead over the past two decades.

HMMMMM, HMMMM, wehell, INDIA is repor planning to use 17,000 troops in its biggest offensive agz the NAXALS-MAOISTS thus far, aka RED ULTRAS.
[Dawn] Twelve people, two children and a woman among them, were killed and 28 others injured when a suicide bomber blew up his explosive-laden pick-up in front of a mosque adjacent to the district police headquarters in the Lower Dir town soon after Friday prayers.Five vehicles parked in the area were destroyed.
Maidan operational commander Col Nadeem Mirza told reporters that it was a suicide attack and target was the mosque where most security personnel offered prayers.
Bodies were taken to the DHQ hospital in Timergara and six of the dead were identified as Imran, Israr, Shakeel, Hayat, Anwar and Khalil. The condition of some of the injured people was said to be critical.
According to witnesses, the double-cabin pick-up sped towards the mosque and exploded near its gate.
They said most of the victims were worshippers coming out of the mosque.
Abdullah, an eyewitness, said that causalities would have been higher had the attack taken place five minutes later because people had just started coming out of the mosque and most of the worshippers were still inside.A police official said two of his colleagues had been killed and eight injured, including DSP Shah Wazir and DSP Sher Hussain.
An emergency was declared by the district authorities and hospital administration and appeals were made on loud speakers for blood donation.
Malakand DIG Muhammad Idrees held meetings with DPO Mumtaz Zarin and DCO Ghulam Muhammad. Two unidentified bodies found at the blast site were believed to be of the suicide bombers.

a suicide bomber blew up his explosive-laden pick-up in front of a mosque
[Dawn] Five people were killed and eight others injured when a suspected US drone fired three missiles on a funeral procession in the Dattakhel tehsil of North Waziristan on Friday.
According to local people, the drones started firing missiles when victims of Thursday's missile attack were being taken for burial after funeral prayers in Babrak Ziarat near Wazgai village of Dattakhel tehsil.
Nineteen people have been killed and 20 others injured in three drone attacks in the area in two days.
AFP news agency quoting a security official in Peshawar reported that the US drone fired four missiles hitting a house, a compound and some other structures. At least seven militants were killed and five were injured.
'It looks like some key Taliban or Al Qaeda figures are hiding in this area and that's why the drones are targeting this area again and again.'
An intelligence official in Miramshah confirmed the death toll and said that eight militants had been injured.
'Our informers told us that these militants were gathered to attend the funeral prayers of those killed in yesterday's missile attacks,' he said.

[Al Arabiya Latest] The Iraqi army has been put on alert because of threats against the country's Christian minority over the coming Christmas holidays, the defense ministry spokesman said on Friday.
"We have put our forces on alert in Baghdad, the provinces of Kirkuk and Nineveh, including its capital Mosul, where our Christian brothers will be celebrating their holidays, because we have intelligence indicating they could be attacked during this period," General Mohammed al-Askari told AFP.
Askari said the latest attacks on churches "carry the hallmarks of al-Qaeda, and we are going to take serious measures to assure the security of churches and avoid terrorist attacks."
Hundreds of Christians have been murdered since the U.S.-led invasion that overthrew Saddam Hussein in 2003, and tens of thousands have fled the country. The community has dwindled from 800,000 to around 550,000 now.
On Thursday, Christian Zeid Majid Yussef, 30, was gunned down in a drive-by shooting in the main northern city of Mosul.
Two days earlier, bombers struck two churches in Mosul, killing a baby and wounding at least 40 people, among them schoolchildren, police and medics said.
One bomb struck the Syrian Catholic Church of the Annunciation. The second, a car bomb, struck the Syrian Orthodox Church of the Virgin Mary and an adjacent Christian school in the city centre, police said.
And on November 26, bombs hit a church and a convent in Mosul, causing severe damage but no casualties.

Now it is damaged but police and government authorities have urged the parish priest, Fr Joseph Jagadwa, to go ahead with the Mass anyway.
So they can kill him too?

Suspected Muslim terrorists insurgents blew up a gas tank near a school in southern Thailand on Saturday, killing three Buddhist villagers and wounding two including a local leader, police said.
The blast appeared intended for a senior official of Bajao district in Narathiwat, one of Thailand's three southernmost provinces plagued by insurgent violence as ethnic Malay Muslims fight for autonomy from Thailand's Buddhist majority. "The bomb was planted near a school. The insurgents detonated it to attack the officials," police Colonel Jamlong Ngamnetara told Reuters. The three people killed had volunteered to provide security for the official as he traveled in a pickup truck, he said.
Three military rangers were killed while a fourth and a local government official were critically wounded in a bomb attack in Thailand's restive south, officials said Saturday.
Suspected separatist terrorists insurgents detonated the bomb packed with around 20 kilos (45 pounds) of explosives in the middle of a road in the Bacho district of troubled Narathiwat province, a military official said.
The four rangers were on patrol with a district chief assistant when the explosion hit their pick-up truck, leaving a huge crater in the road, he said. Three of the rangers were killed immediately while the fourth and the local official were taken to hospital in a critical condition, he added.
[Straits Times] CAMBODIA is sending 20 Chinese Muslims who fled there after July unrest in Xinjiang back to China where they face possible persecution, a US-based Uighur rights organization said on Friday.
The group has been taken to the Phnom Penh airport and is about to be put on a plane to Shanghai, said Henryk Szadziewski of the Uighur Human Rights Project in Washington.
'There is a plane ready to take them away,' he said, adding that his organisation had received the information from local sources in Cambodia.
US State Department spokesman Gordon Duguid told reporters, 'we are deeply disturbed by reports the Cambodian government might forcibly return this group of Uighurs without the benefit of a credible refugee status determination process.
'We strongly urge the Cambodian government to honor its commitment under international law,' he added.
The group arrived at the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) office after fleeing deadly unrest in northwest China's Xinjiang region and their presence in Phnom Penh was first made public two weeks ago. The clashes between Xinjiang's Muslim Uighur community and China's majority Han ethnic group left 197 people dead and more than 1,600 injured, according to an official toll.

[Dawn] Seven people were killed and 11 injured when a bomb exploded in southeastern Myanmar, official media reported on Friday, blaming ethnic Karen separatists for the attack.
The bomb went off late on Wednesday during New Year celebrations in Phapon, a town in Kayin State, which is predominantly Karen and is about 190 km northeast of Myanmar's biggest city, Yangon.
'It is learnt that the time bomb was planted by KNU (Karen National Union) terrorist insurgent group,' state-controlled newspapers said.
The reports did not give details or evidence to show the KNU was responsible. Small blasts in public places, including markets and Buddhist temples, are fairly common in Myanmar and the ruling military government often blames KNU guerrillas.
The KNU is one of the biggest of the ethnic groups that have been fighting against the government for greater autonomy since independence from Britain in 1948.
The current junta has reached ceasefire agreements with 17 ethnic groups and at least six splinter groups of the KNU since it came to power in 1988. However, peace talks with the mainstream KNU have so far failed.

In which it is demonstrated that terrorists are merely criminals tricked out in fancy language.
Three accused terrorists arrested in Africa arrived in Manhattan today to face charges that they plotted to fund al-Qaeda by smuggling thousands of pounds of cocaine into Europe.
Oumar Issa, Harouna Toure and Idriss Abelrahman were captured in Ghana on Wednesday and arrived in the city early this morning. They are expected to appear before a federal judge this afternoon.
It's the first time suspected al-Qaeda operatives have been charged in a drug-trafficking plot, prosecutors said.
The three admitted their ties to al-Qaeda's north African branch in a series of phone calls and meetings with undercover Drug Enforcement Administration agents since September.
They told the sources - who posed as members of Columbian terror group FARC - that they transported the drugs by truck from West Africa and across the Sahara desert to be shipped into Spain, and that al Qaeda militias would provide protection along the route.
They also offered to arrange kidnappings of foreign nationals as another way for FARC to raise cash, prosecutors said.
One of the men, Adelrahman, "discussed with the (agents) their shared goals ... including the fact that they were committed to the same anti-American cause," the criminal complaint states.
The group the three are tied to joined Osama bin Laden's terror network in 2006, and has been accused of hundreds of bombings and kidnappings since.
At one point, the three told the agents that payment for transporting the drugs would "go to their people to support the fight for 'the cause,'" the complaint said.
The three men, thought to be in their 30s and from Mali, are expected to be charged with narcoterrorism conspiracy and conspiracy to provide support to terrorists. They face life in prison.
