WANA, Pakistan (Reuters) - A missile struck a house in a Pakistani region known as a safe haven for al Qaeda militants early on Thursday, killing at least eight suspected militants, residents and intelligence officials said.

The attack took place in near Kaloosha village in the South Waziristan tribal region on the Afghan border.

"The blast shook the entire area, about eight people were killed," Behlool Khan, a resident of the area, told Reuters.

It was three missiles......from a new article...

A security source based in the northwestern city of Peshawar, which adjoins the lawless tribal belt, said the missile was fired by a US drone at about 2:00 am Thursday (2100 GMT Wednesday).

Another security official said most of the dead were Arabs.

Armed militants cordoned off the site after the missile strike, residents said. They said four unidentified "guests" had arrived late Wednesday at the destroyed house, although their identities were not known.

You joke, but I bet Obama’s remarks have provided perfect political cover domestically for the administration.

Okay, I'm getting curious.

According to sources, the missile was allegedly fired from US predator plane.

You bet your sweet bippy it was! LOL!

I love the smell of incinerated terrorist puke in the morning.

Four Arab militants and the same number from Turkemenistan

I recall Colin Powell describing how Turkmenistan wouldn't have a thing to do with any American State Dept gestures after 9-11.

IOW it's an islamic hell hole.

Maybe if enough of their jihadi's start vaporizing and don't return home the mullahs or Turkmenistan Taliban or whoever has power there will have some second thoughts.
