Our best platform for cruise missiles is our Navy in the Indian Ocean. You're right, Predators carry only two and only one Predator was reported overhead.

We haven't done a three missile strike in a very long time, Zawahiri only rated two Hellfires last year.

I think we were taking no chances. RUMINT is buttoned up tight all over so I will check again in a few hours and repost.

BTW, 13 Afghans reported wounded in a dorm next to the madrassa, most of the windows broken for over a km. around.

Later.

Sources are down, it’s nightime over there, maybe more very late today.

I'm sure that these Predator-carried Hellfires have a special warhead replacing the standard package. But this sounds like bigger warheads than 1 or 2 Hellfires can carry. All the evidence points to a cruise missle strike.
