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.

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

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

I suspect that we got a very big terrorist target. There are 8 Arabs among the killed.

Good call on Gadahn. South Waziristan could also indicate Baitullah Mehsud or one of the Haqqanis. Of course, I’m hoping it is Zawahiri or even the chief turd.

We got Gadahn a month ago? I hadn’t heard that. What a propaganda coup. I love hearing this. It’s ironic that we are using intelligence to send drones to kill the bad guys in Pakistan while here the Dems refuse to pass the surveillance bill. How did we manage to send so many stupid people to Washington?

You’d think they’d run out virgins eventually and have to cancel the jihad. You can’t have a jihad without the 72 virgins.

I hope President Bush gets the top 2 before he leaves office. He deserves the credit after 8 years of fighting the good fight.
If the rogue elements in the CIA will get out of the way, maybe he will get OBL & Zawahiri before the he heads back to Crawford.
