MIRANSHAH, Pakistan — A US drone strike in Pakistan's northwestern tribal belt on Friday killed at least six militants including four foreigners and destroyed a compound, security officials said.

Two missiles fired by the unmanned aircraft hit a house in the village of Khushali Turikhel, 40 kilometres (25 miles) east of Miranshah, the main town in the lawless North Waziristan tribal district, security officials told AFP.

"The US drone fired two missiles which hit a house. Two locals and four militants of central Asian origin have been killed," a Pakistani security official said.

The official based in Peshawar said militants were using the house as a compound, which was completely destroyed. Two intelligence officials based in Miranshah confirmed the attack and the number of casualties, adding that three militants whose identities were not yet clear were wounded in the strike.

From Drudge: "Pakistan warns US: 'You will lose an ally'..."

A whore like Pakistan has to know that it's gonna get a whack in the chops, occasionally, if she gets too uppity to her pimp. Consider this love tap fair warning. It's the Chicago Ghetto Way.

To the Paki Intelligence Service: We know where you live, and JugEars and his methods aren't going to be around to protect his Muslim bros in another 15 months...

So the compound was completely destroyed. Humm. Where I come from, that is called “urban renewal.”
