Drone strike kills four terrorists in Kurram Agency
2010-08-28
[Pak Daily Times] A US drone strike on Saturday killed four faceless myrmidons in the Tribal Areas near the Afghan border, security officials said.

The strike hit Shahidano village in Kurram Agency, home of poverty, ignorance, and religious fanaticism, not necessarily in that order, around 100 kilometres southwest of Beautiful Downtown Peshawar. "Four bad turbans have been killed in this dronezap," a security official in Peshawar told AFP by telephone. Another security official in Peshawar said the US drone fired four missiles, hitting two vehicles near a house. "All those killed were bad boyz belonging to the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistain (TTP)," the official said. According to the US, the drone strikes had been counter-productive as a large number of Taliban and al Qaeda-linked faceless myrmidons had been killed in the attacks. On the other hand, Pakistain insists that the US provide Islamabad with the drone technology so that the Pakistain Army could carry out the attacks itself.
