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.
The strike in the North Waziristan region was the first since U.S. President Barack Obama's speech last week outlining plans to send 30,000 more U.S. troops to Afghanistan.
Obama said Pakistan must not allow its territory to be used as a sanctuary for militants.
"One of the missiles hit a vehicle and all three militants in it were killed," an intelligence official told Reuters on condition of anonymity.

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.
