US drone attack kills four in Pakistan
2010-09-20
[Iran Press TV] A US dronezap has waxed at least four snuffies and maimed several others in the troubled northwestern tribal belt in Pakistain.
Other reports put the corpse count at five...
According to Pak security officials, the drone fired two missiles at a turbanmobile in the North Wazoo region on Sunday.

"It was a US dronezap. Four snuffies were ejected from the gene pool. The vehicle was hit by two missiles," a regional security official said.

The US frequently carries out such attacks on Pakistain's tribal areas. Attacks by drones have left dozens of terrorists and camp followers people titzup in the volatile region over the past weeks.

The aerial attacks, initiated by former US President George W. Bush, have been escalated under President Barack B.O. Obama.

The New York Times recently ran a report, saying the US government has ordered the CIA to step up air attacks in Pakistain.
Once again someone blabbed to the NYT who in turn couldn't resist publishing something that would harm national security. It's like a drug habit for them ...
Washington claims the strikes target turbans, but camp followers civilians often bear the brunt of the attacks. Islamabad has frequently slammed the US over the drone strikes, saying they violate its sovereignty.
If Pakistan would fix the problem, we wouldn't have to. This isn't rocket science, you know -- quite unlike the drones and the missiles they strike with, which are.
