4 drone-zapped in NW Pakistan

ISLAMABAD, Nov. 7 (Xinhua) -- At least four people were killed in another U.S.drone attack launched Sunday night in Pakistan's northwest tribal area of North Waziristan, reported local media. According to the report, the U.S. drone fired two missiles at a vehicle in the Datta Khel area of North Waziristan, which is suspected carrying militants inside.

The latest strike is second of its kind on Sunday. Not long before, the U.S. drone launched a strike at a house in the Miranshah area of North Waziristan, which is located northeast of Datta Khel. In the first strike, the U.S. drone also fired two missiles at a house suspected to be a hideout of militants, killing at least 12 people.

Shortly following the first strike on Sunday, there came in news saying that Taliban had killed three people suspected to provide guidance for U.S. drone attacks in the area. The three dead bodies were found at a bazaar near the first hit area with a letter placed on them from Taliban saying they are spies providing information for U.S. drone attacks, said the report.
If we had a CIA worth the name, those three would have been falsely-fingered Taliban loyalists.
