A US drone was chasing a vehicle, it fired two missiles just after the car was parked.

Cool. Put it in park and a couple of Hellfires light them up.

I suspect as we capture AQ types in A-Stan, they're squeezed for info which provides targeting in P-Stan within a couple of days or so. Just a guess on my part.

"...in a lawless district of Pakistan ...."

People in "lawless" regions should be given a chance to evacuate before those regions are made to glow in the dark.

Not that I am against taking out insurgents in “lawless” regions, I am all for it. The use of drones though is an interesting twist on a way to violate the sovereign airspace of Pakistan. We don’t seem to use manned aircraft to do these raids either here or in Somalia etc. I suppose they are unmarked or something in case they are shot down or crash from mechanical failure?

A curious diplomatic arrangement.
