Badar Mansoor Dronezapped in North Wazoo
 A U.S. drone fired two missiles at a house in Pakistan's northwest tribal region Thursday, killing five suspected militants, intelligence officials said. The Taliban identified one of them as a I wonder if he was followed from the site of yesterday's Zap. And who is being followed from today's zap... The commander, Badar Mansoor, led a group of over 200 Pakistani Taliban fighters in the North Waziristan tribal area, the main sanctuary for militants in Pakistan, said a fellow insurgent. Do we have any significant events associated with this Mansoor guy? One never quite knows whether these purported Taliban confirmations of death are real Taliban, real death, or red herring, but might want to let the accordian player know she should warm up.
