A suspected US missile strikes Taliban or al Qaeda hideout
Debka ^ | 11.02.07

Later, armed men surrounded the scene, 20 km from the Afghan border, and carried away the dead and wounded. DEBKAfile reports that al Qaeda makes it a rule to evacuate the dead and wounded so as not to disclose their identities, especially when a prominent operative is hit.

Witnesses reported seeing a drone flying in from the West before a big explosion.

Two foreigners, usually associated with al Qaeda in the tribal regions, were among the dead, according to locals. They said the house targeted was a training base for insurgents loyal to Baitullah Mehsud, leader of Pakistan-based Taliban terrorists who are blamed for suicide attacks which have killed 400 people since July.

DEBKA has as much (or more)credibility as any other MSM source.

im laughing so hard right now... but it could be a possibility. Dennis Kucinich is known to frequent terrorist hang outs like the syrian dictator compound.

“It’s from Debka so take it for what it is worth.”

I’ve seen a lot of bogus reports on FR, Perdogg, so if Debka is questionable, it’s just one of many on FR.

Is that a problem for you, or are you just anti-Semitic?

This is why Osama bin Laden hasn't been found.
