Target ID'ed....they were trying to take out a biggie.
Abu Laith al-Libi, an al Qaeda field commander, was the target of the attack, sources said.

Wow, an explosion at a bomb making camp. This so soon after AQ released the “graduation” video. Any chance that this is the same camp?

You probably know already but al-Libi is the guy behind the bomb attack during Cheney’s visit to Afghanistan. The attack killed 23 outside a US base.
I’m sure they wanted him really bad.
There are also indications that he operates independently of OBL’s orders and that there may be something of a rivalry between the two.

Other Pakistani intelligence officials, who also requested anonymity, said the compound lay about two miles inside Pakistan and was surrounded by forests. The officials said some militants were sitting in an open area of a madrassa, or Islamic seminary, when they were attackedHmm. An Islamic seminary was hit. That means there were lots of secondary explosions.

Abu Laith al-Libi is a big HVT (and a big SOB, with a big mouth)......But RUMINT has it he was the target for the hit inside Stan (Paktika)....Not the target for this strike inside PAK.....
