US drone strike leaves two dead in Pakistan
[Iran Press TV Latest] A US drone targeting suspected militants has fired missiles into in Pakistan's troubled tribal belt, killing at least two people and injuring several others.

According to Pakistan officials, the attack took place in North Waziristan tribal region on Thursday.

"A US drone fired two missiles, which hit a compound of a local Tribesman, Karim Khan, and killing two people," AFP quoted a regional security official as saying.

Hundreds of people, many of them civilians, have been killed since 2006 in CIA-operated drone strikes in Pakistan.

#3 Bitch, bitch, bitch. I'm sure one good ARCLIGHT strike will give them reason to prefer the dronezaps. We're going to have trouble in Afghanistan as long as Pakistan exists. The sooner it's terminated, the sooner we can declare victory in Afghanistan and leave. I have no sympathy for anyone in that part of the world.

#4 Definition of a "civilian" in Pakistan:
A terrorist that dropped his rifle.
