US drone strike kills four in Miranshah
2010-09-26
[Pak Daily Times] A dronezap targeted a vehicle on Saturday in North Wazoo, killing four bad boyz, intelligence officials said. It had been the seventeenth such attack this month -- the most intense barrage since the air strikes began in 2004. Shortly before the attack, the vehicle left a terrorist hideout in Datta Khel, a town in the North Wazoo tribal area, controlled by bully boyz focused on attacking NATO troops in Afghanistan, the two intelligence officials said. It is not clear exactly why the attacks have spiked, but most of this month's strikes had targeted forces led by Jalaluddin Haqqani, a commander who was once supported by Pakistain and the US during the war against the Soviets in Afghanistan. Haqqani has since turned against the US, and American military officials have said his network -- now effectively led by his son, Sirajuddin -- presents one of the greatest threats to foreign forces in Afghanistan.
