US drones kill 10 militants in Pakistan
2012-08-21
Well they aren't Russian drones...
ISLAMABAD: American drones fired a flurry of missiles in a Pakistani tribal area bordering Afghanistan yesterday, killing a total of 10 suspected militants, Pakistani officials said.

In the first strike, missiles fired from unmanned American spy planes hit two vehicles near the Afghan border, killing at least seven militants, Pakistani intelligence officials said. The strike came in the Mana area of North Waziristan, the officials added.

The officials say the area is dominated by Hafiz Gul Bahadur, a target commander whose forces often strike US troops in Afghanistan, but they did not know whether his men were the targets of yesterdays' strike. A US drone strike Saturday also in North Waziristan killed five Gul Bahadur allies.
It's just a matter of time, Hafiz...
About 10 hours later yesterday, two missiles destroyed a home also in the Mana area, killing three militants, the officials said.
