2011-07-07
(KUNA) -- A key Taliban capo was reportedly killed in a US drone strike in Pak tribal region of North Wazoo on Tuesday night, it was reported here Wednesday.

The news of key commander's killing came as security forces clashed with gun-hung tough guys in the same area, giving rise to rumors that the military has launched an operation in the agency. However,
you can observe a lot just by watching...
no official confirmation was yet available.

Citing unnamed official sources, local news channel Dawn reported that bully boy commander Saifullah, who was close to the late Osama bin Laden
... who abandoned all hope when he entered there...
, was among four gun-hung tough guys killed in a US drone strike in Mir Ali district of North Waziristan agency.

Earlier, in the morning, security forces exchanged heavy fire with gun-hung tough guys in Miramshah, the main city of the agency. Security sources told KUNA that gun-hung tough guys fired rockets at security check posts in the area. However,
nothing needs reforming like other people's bad habits...
there were no casualty reports available yet.

The festivities led to rumors that the forces have launched operation in the agency at the pressure of the United States. The US has been demanding the military to launch operation in North Waziristan. However,
the hip bone's connected to the leg bone...
Pakistain has rejected to succumb to pressure. The forces, although, launched operation in Upper Kurram agency on Tuesday, forcing hundreds of families to flee to safer areas.
