File under: al-Qaeda in Pakistan

#1 DERA ISMAIL KHAN, Pakistan (AP) American drone-fired missiles slammed into a car near the Afghan border on Monday, killing four suspected Islamist militants, Pakistani intelligence officials said.

The missile strike took place in the Nargusa area of South Waziristan, which like much of the rugged border region is home to al-Qaida and Taliban fighters, the officials said on condition of anonymity in line with their agency's rules.

The officials identified the dead men as Pakistani militants, but said they were not from the border region. Two other fighters were wounded in the strike.

Monday's attack was the first recorded missile strike in Pakistan since July 12.

#2 Whywas this "the first recorded Missile strike since Since July 12"?
Seems to me that the place should be wall to wall Ceaters by now?
If it isn't, there's work to be done.
And LOTS of it.

#4 With every drone strike get a free nuke strike. That is what I call doubling down.
