MIRANSHAH, Pakistan (Reuters) – A suspected U.S. drone fired two missiles into an al Qaeda and Taliban sanctuary in a Pakistani region the Afghan border on Tuesday, killing at least three militants, Pakistani intelligence officials said.

I am tired Barack Obama “air raiding villages and bombing on civilians”. I am sure the Left is going to start investigating this war criminal. Code Pink - Michael Moore, Bueller, Bueller....

Confirmed that two of the dead were newly arrived Saudis. There were 7 drones tracking the targets, two hellfires struck the truck as soon as it left the compound in Aspalgha.
