Missile hits Pakistan's Waziristan; 10 suspects dead (Predator strike on Al Qaeda safehouse!)
Reuters ^ | 2/28/08 | Hafiz Wazir

Posted on 02/27/2008 9:37:36 PM PST by jimbo123

A missile struck a house in a Pakistani region known as being a safe haven for al Qaeda early on Thursday, killing 10 suspected militants including foreigners, intelligence officials and residents said.

The attack took place near Kaloosha village in the South Waziristan tribal region on the Afghan border.

"The blast shook the entire area," said resident Behlool Khan.

A security official said he believed the missile was fired by U.S. forces who are operating in neighbouring Afghanistan, and the house that was hit belonged to a Pashtun tribesman, Sher Mohammad Malikkheil, also known as Sheroo, who was known to have links with militants.

"Ten people, most of them believed to be of Arab origin, were killed and seven wounded," said an intelligence official, who declined to be identified.

Great news. Also thinking that it was probably true that Adam Pearlman Gadahn was blown up in January's Predator strike in NW and we nabbed his notebook computer from the rubble.

This is really good news. With all the instability in Pac. I thought this stuff would go away.

Looks like the opposite has happened and their government has come to see that these guys are everyone’s enemy, especially theirs.

That's a perfect picture and great humor. Maybe the Predator needs a little pill box hat, just for fun.

Always good news.

I’ve noticed after hearing such dispatches that I have a quirky little smile on my face for the rest of the day. My wife will look at me and say, “What is it? What’s up with you?” I can’t make it go away.

At any rate, I’m off to bed now and I always sleep a litle better knowing that terrorists have been killed.

It sure would be nice to wake up in the AM and raze Drudge and see a pic of Obama at the top.

Sweet dreams. God bless our troops.

Bin Laden?

You mean that person that hasn't been seen alive or heard from since we bombed Bora Bora?

Do you mean the guy that there have been no pictures of for 5 years?

Hmmmm, don't think he might be DEAD, do you?
