Three drone strikes kill 13 in NWA
2011-01-24
[Pak Daily Times] A series of unmanned US drone strikes in North Wazoo on Sunday killed at least 13 terrorists, officials said, as rustics erupted into the streets to protest against the aerial campaign.
Good shooting, guys.
The first two attacks took place in Datta Khel, some 40 kilometres west of North Wazoo's main town of Miranshah. The third was in Mandokhel, around 60 kilometres south of the town.

In the first strike, two missiles were fired on a vehicle seconds after it stopped outside a house in Datta Khel, officials said.

"The US drone hit a car immediately after it parked outside a house. Four Orcs and similar vermin have been killed," an intelligence official in Miranshah told AFP, adding that the vehicle was destroyed and the house badly damaged.

A second intelligence official said the drone fired two missiles.

An intelligence official in Beautiful Downtown Peshawar also confirmed the attack and the number of missiles, saying: "At least four Orcs and similar vermin have been killed."

Another US drone then fired two missiles at a cycle of violence travelling in the same town, killing three terrorists, local officials said.

"Three Orcs and similar vermin have been killed in the second attack," a security official in Miranshah told AFP.

Another security official said the Orcs and similar vermin were riding a cycle of violence when they were hit by the US drone.

#3  Now that we've got them used to dronezaps, it's time for a nice, multi-ship ARCLIGHT strike. Hit Dera Adam Khel, then stand back and count the secondaries.

"In the third strike [in Mando Khel -- 60 to 80km to the south], a vehicle parked inside a suspected militant compound was hit. "A US drone was chasing a vehicle, it fired two missiles just after the car was parked. Six militants have been killed and three injured".
