Red Wire Syndrome strikes again!

"That's our story and we're sticking to it."
However, the unofficial reports said the militants were killed when two missiles fired from undisclosed location, struck the house at Kaloosha village, some 15 kilometers West of Wana near Pak-Afghan border. The fugitives had hired the house few months ago on rent and were fast asleep when the deadly missile hit the house.
"Stop that whistling, Abu. I'm trying to sle....KABOOM!"
It may be recalled that about 12 militants were killed in a similar missile attack at a house in South Waziristan Agency in January last.
