PSA to all Al Qaeda. Try to avoid those US missiles. They can be of danger to your health.

Assuming the report is true ...

I wouldn't be surprised if there is a Pakistani liason
assigned to the UAV crew, and the liason is required to
click the mouse button to launch the missile when in
Pak airspace.

A man who lives near the house said he heard at least two detonations and saw a white streak of light before a missile hit the house, sparking a huge explosion.

It may have looked like a missle, but witnesses are unreliable. It was a fuel tank.

Commander dead, Laden in line of fire

Rohan Gunaratna, author of Inside al-Qaida, said Rabia's death could mean that the security forces were closing in on bin Laden: "The fact that Abu Hamza Rabia has been killed clearly demonstrates that bin Laden is very likely not far away.

A Predator operating in Pakistani airspace would almost assuredly be Paki "controlled".

This is not the case in Pak rural areas -
