"US airstrikes kill 45 militants, Pakistan reports; 2 attacks launched by drone aircraft" by Chris Brummitt, Associated Press | July 9, 2009
ISLAMABAD - Suspected US unmanned aircraft launched two attacks against militants loyal to the head of the Pakistani Taliban yesterday, killing at least 45 in the latest in a barrage against a group also being targeted by the Pakistani military, intelligence officials said.
The first strike yesterday took place before dawn.
While they were PRAYING? BLASPHEMY!
Six missiles were fired at a mountaintop training camp in the Karwan Manza area of South Waziristan, killing 10 militants, Pakistani intelligence officials said on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to media.
You sure it wasn't a FUNERAL?
Hours later, 12 miles to the east, missiles hit four vehicles carrying Taliban militants, killing at least 35, including a key Taliban commander, one intelligence official said. Another said 50 militants were killed.
Can you VERIFY they were MILITANTS, MSM? Yeah, that's what I thought!
The convergence of US and Pakistani interests in the South Waziristan tribal region suggests the two uneasy allies were cooperating in the strikes, making it harder for Islamabad to protest them publicly as it has in the past. The army denied signing off on the attacks and insisted they were hurting its campaign against Pakistani Taliban chief Baitullah Mehsud by alienating local tribes it is trying to enlist in the fight.
Please read my Pakistan labels for the exposure of lies.
The MSM has been saying the military campaign was GAINING PUBLIC SUPPORT, etc, etc.
And NOTHING about the 3 MILLION REFUGEES we ahve CAUSED, 'eh?
Meanwhile, an army spokesman said a Pakistani jet attack wounded the local Taliban commander in the Swat Valley elsewhere in the northwest. Troops have been battling militants in Swat for more than two months, an offensive that has so far failed to net any top insurgent leaders. The mountainous border region is home to Al Qaeda and Taliban leaders who plot attacks in Pakistan and neighboring Afghanistan, which is witnessing an increasing level of violence against US and NATO troops.
Yup, "Al-CIA-Duh," yup.
See why I AM SICK of the SAME REPETITIVE BULLSHIT making it as "news?"
South Waziristan is the stronghold of Mehsud and his followers, whom the government blames for more than 90 percent of the suicide bombings in Pakistan in recent years. The US State Department says Mehsud is a key Al Qaeda facilitator in the region....
Pretty darn good for a DEAD GUY!!!!!!!!!
