"Suspected US attack kills 9, Pakistan reports" by Associated Press | March 17, 2010
MIR ALI, Pakistan — An apparent US missile attack destroyed a suspected militant compound in a tribal region of northwestern Pakistan yesterday, killing at least nine people, intelligence officials said.
It was not clear who was targeted in the Datta Khel region of North Waziristan, the two officials said on the condition of anonymity. An unknown number of people were injured.
The area is the home of Hafiz Gul Bahadur, a powerful warlord whose fighters are battling US and NATO forces in Afghanistan.
The CIA has stepped up strikes on militants in Pakistan’s tribal regions since December, when a bomber killed seven CIA employees in Afghanistan.

Do you?
Pakistan publicly criticizes the US missile attacks, saying they violate its sovereignty and fuel more anti-Americanism, but Islamabad is widely believed to be sharing intelligence on at least some of the strikes.
Yeah, EVERYONE KNOWS the DOUBLE-CROSSING GAME the Pakistan government is playing on its people. That is why they are so unpopular!
Murdering innocent countrymen and flattening villages at the behest of AmeriKa usually doesn't go over to well with the home folks.
Washington refuses to discuss publicly the program, which uses unmanned drones, but Pakistani intelligence and government officials say privately that the attacks have killed several senior Al Qaeda and Taliban commanders in recent years.
And HUNDREDS MORE INNOCENT CIVILIANS
US drone missiles slaughtered 700 Pakistani civilians in 2009
But it was worth it to get a few intelligence assets -- or not.
And you can add more to this years toll.
"US missiles kill at least 4 in Pakistan" by ASSOCIATED PRESS | March 22, 2010
MIR ALI, Pakistan — Suspected US drones fired missiles yesterday at a house and car in a militant-dominated tribal region near Pakistan’s Afghan border, killing at least four people, officials said.
The attack occurred in the Datta Khel area of North Waziristan, two intelligence officials said. The drones fired three missiles, they added, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media.
The identities of those killed were not known, though the region is dominated by the Taliban’s Haqqani network, which is blamed for launching attacks across the border against American and NATO forces in Afghanistan.
Yes, the infamous Haqqani network:
"Haqqani.... credited with introducing suicide bombing to the region.... cultivated as a "unilateral" asset of the CIA and received tens of thousands of dollars in cash for his work.... He may have had a role in expediting the escape of Osama Bin Laden.... In July 2008, CIA officials confronted Pakistan officials with evidence of ties between Inter-Services Intelligence and Haqqani. Haqqani has been accused of involvement in the 2008 Indian embassy bombing in Kabul...."
Separately, the bullet-riddled bodies of four Pakistani tribesmen, killed for allegedly spying for the United States, were found yesterday elsewhere in North Waziristan, witnesses and officials said....
Yeah, another phenomenon out there that we rarely if ever read about. That would be giving away the "game!"
Intelligence officials, also speaking on condition of anonymity, said a note was found by one of the corpses. It warned, in Pashto: “Spies are spies, and they will come to the same fate as these men. . . . Do not spy for America.’’
Smell a stench, readers?
The tribal regions along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, strongholds for Al Qaeda and Taliban fighters....
Now do you, cui bono?
--more--"
So which "Al-CIA-Duh" would that be, huh?
The made-up "Al-CIA-Duh?"
Or the "Al-CIA-Duh" CREATION for the COURTROOM!?
