A flight of Predators or its more muscular brothers, the Reapers, hit a Taliban compound and two vehicles in the town of Tolkhel near Miramshah in North Waziristan. The Predators fired their missiles in two waves. Seven missiles total were fired, according to a report in Dawn.
The first strike hit a Taliban compound and vehicle, while the second strike appears to have hit during the Taliban's attempt to recover the dead and wounded.
Is it evil of me to applaud this?
Is it evil of me to ululate?
| Only if you can't carry a tune. |
"Missiles hit a car carrying militants and as soon as other people rushed into help, more missiles were fired by drones," a Pakistani security official told AFP.
| Well done, O far-away controller! And to you and all your fellows, thank you! More, faster, please. |
Today's airstrike took place in a region administered by North Waziristan Taliban leader Hafiz Gul Bahadar. |
