PESHAWAR: According to a BBCUrdu report, Ilyas Kashmiri, a Pakistani terrorist leader with ties to al Qaeda, was among those killed in the latest drone strikes in South Waziristan.

The report quoted locals as saying that Kashmiri was killed in the strike that killed at least nine militants.

Kashmiri was the chief of the Harkatul Jihad al-Islami (HJI), an organisation affiliated with al Qaeda.

He is widely believed to have masterminded the attack on the PNS Mehran naval base in Karachi.

A government official in Peshawar told BBCUrdu that although he had been receiving information regarding the death of Kashmiri in the drone strike, he could not confirm the information.

Moreover, an official in South Waziristan told BBCUrdu that a US drone attack targeted a group of armed militants 20 kilometres from Wana bazaar.

The official said the attack killed nine people and injured three others.

Moreover, the official said that those killed in the attack were believed to be militants from Punjab.

Locals and witnesses told BBCUrdu that Kashmiri had also died in the drone attack.

Witnesses said Kashmiri had arrived in South Waziristan from the Khyber tribal region.

Great news.

We have got these murdering bastards on the run. The intelligence from the Bin Laden kill is obviously goldmine.

I didn't think that Bin Laden’s death would create a huge disturbance among Al Qaeda, because Al Zawahiri is the brains.

But now, such a quick elimination of the new poster boy will obviously un-nerve them.

Al Qaeda will say a lot of things concerning revenge....but, their willing warm bodies are probably going to start melting away faster.

It will take them sometime to recover from this, if they do at all.

I wonder, after we kill a Muslim leader, if the Muzzies hate us any less because we observe the Muslim burial rite.

What an absurd premise.

That was very necessary to remove Saddam, for many reasons,But the way the War was mismanaged is criminal,#1 you leave the Iraqi Army intact,#2 You hand the Savages a constitution and say use it! #3 Sadr and his insects ,should have been shot to pieces,we could have been out of there LONG ago.

Several years ago, it seemed like we were always bagging “Number Three.” At least now we’re up to replacing whoever steps into the role of Number One!

BOL

That looks like a Tom Selleck family reunion.

My wife and I are both Selleck fans, however when he is seen in his new great role as the Police top NY Dog in Blue Blood setting behind the desk with his glasses and mustache and big eyebrows, he looks like these people.

Sorry about that Tom. Keep driving liberals nuts with your current hot new TV series, reruns and other shows.

I would love to see a year campaign of picking off each successor each day.

And screw the Crapistanis complaining about us using their airspace. They are harboring terrorists, bomb away!
