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.

Good move. Every time Zawahiri opens his mouth about “revenge” blast a couple missiles over to Pakistan.

Guess who liked to hang out in the village where the missile struck...

From an NBC piece last month...

Jihadist sources on the Pakistan side of the border are telling local journalists they are worried. One who described himself as a “very close friend” of Gadahn said the 28-year-old California native had until recently been spending most of his time in the populated areas of South Waziristan, near the towns of Wana, Azam Warsak and Shahkai.

If at first you don't succeed try ...try again!

“How about #1 and #2 together, with a side dish of scrambled sheik Omar?”

If they got Mullah Omar I hope it blew out his other eye before splattering him against the walls. Regardless, I suspect they’ll have to clean up these eight guys with a squeegee and an eye-dropper.

“Armed militants cordoned off the site after the missile strike”

Sounds like we need to send in one more missle to clean up the remanining scumbags.
