The US military appears to have conducted yet another strike against the Taliban and al Qaeda in Pakistans lawless tribal regions. Reports from Pakistani indicate a missile strike targeted a terrorist safe house near the town of Damadola, killing between seven and 14 Taliban.
Maulvi Omar, the spokesman for the Movement of the Taliban in Pakistan, said four Taliban and three children were killed in the strike, and six were wounded. An unidentified Pakistani security official said 14 were killed in the strike, including "foreigners."
The home of Taliban commander Maulvi Obaidullah was targeted, according to PTI. It is unclear if this Taliban commander is actually Mullah Obaidullah Akhund, the Afghan Taliban leader who served as Defense Minister and currently sits on the Taliban's Shura Majlis, or senior executive council. Mullah Obaidullah was reported to have been detained in Quetta while he was fundraising for operations in Afghanistan.
