The US military conducted another airstrike inside Pakistan's lawless tribal agencies. The target of the strike was an al Qaeda-linked group called Al Badar, which is run by Gulbuddin Hekmatyar.
Unmanned Predator aircraft launched several missiles in the early morning at a target in the village of Tol Khel on the outskirts of Miramshah, the administrative seat of North Waziristan. Twelve members of Al Badar (or Al Badr) were reported killed and 14 were reported wounded in the attack, according to AFP.
Al Badar is a Kashmiri terrorist group supported by Gulbuddin Hekmatyar. The group "is reported to have training camps in the Manshera area of North West Frontier Province (NWFP) in Pakistan, Kotli and Muzaffarabad," according to the South East Asia Terrorism Portal. Kashmiri terrorist groups have flocked to the Northwest Frontier Province and have actively participated in operations against Coalition forces in Afghanistan.
Hekmatyar runs the Hezb-i-Islami Gulbuddin, a radical Taliban-linked faction fighting US forces in Afghanistan. He has close links to al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden, as well as the Inter-Services Intelligence, Pakistan's military intelligence agency.

I’d laugh my arse off if Bush delivers the “October suprise” of bin laden’s head on a platter.
Oh No! Please be careful! I heard the Pakis now have orders to come after you! /sarc
so do these terrorists ever have a clue what’s about to happen ? any sound or lights? are they just sitting their cursing America and the next moment they are dead?
Bush I managed to be in office during the fall of the Soviet Union and couldn't turn that into a win against Clinton and the press.
Good thing W isn't running this time around.
JDAM’s be upon them.
Gulbuddin is funded by the CIA.
Something like capturing Bin Laden could actually have the opposite effect of helping the GOP, the Dems could then say the WoT is over and it is all domestic now. A lot of the country might subconsciously put a period and a THE END on the WOT.

Just a knock on the door and the words, “pizza delivery!”.
If the election was 8 months or a year away I would agree. But if they get him now, there will be a wave of national pride and a great feeling that justice was meted out that could not be overcome in less than 60 days.
Nope, they don’t know what’s coming
I’ll believe we’re serious when we park the Predators and unleash the B-52s to do some serious carpet bombing.
Confirming the death of Osama - whom I believe has already been excreted by worms - is a very minor mark in the war against militant Islam...
I doubt any of us alive today - will see “THE END” of this war...
It will not end until a nuclear holocaust has destroyed millions of them or millions of us...
“land shark....”
“candy gram....”
“JDAM... BOOM!”
Exactly....
At the moment - there are at least 3 potential nations at the top of the list..... Iran, Syria — while Saudi Arabia and Pakistan are tied for third.....
:-D
The Center for Defense Analyses did a report on Saddam’s ties to Jihadist terrorists several months back and that guy Hekmatyar was a guy that was prominently named as being tied to Saddam.
One second you’re thinking about bedding down with a cute little goat and WHAM, blood, teeth, and hair all over the place.
May they get runners in their hose.... LOL!
boom
