#1 I don't remember when the trend shifted, or if it's only because this is Pak News, but these are no longer 'suspected' US drones.

And the drones were pretty busy. Interesting that 4 of them stayed in orbit after targeting a car. Obviously a high priority target. I wonder who?

#2 Oopps. Preview didn't help this morning I guess.
The idling drones and the destroyed vehicle reportedly were separate events.

#3 The US drone fired five missiles at the office of Shamsullah, a commander of militant group, Maulvi Nazir Ahmed.

A single drone packing at least five missiles? My BS meter is twitching...

#4 "Four US led drones continued to hover over the area after the attack, which caused great panic among the locals..."

... ya think?

#5 It is a challenge to keep up with the strikes, but that is a good thing. News seems to trickle out later of 'commanders' and such no longer with us. Longwarjournal seems the most comprehensive coverage and background.
