Just heard form a business contact in the region who does business with some of the tribal leaders. Word is they got a HVT. A BIG HVT!!! Now that part of the world is subject to big tales but my friend thinks this one was real and solid. Time will tell.
I shall stretch the string between me and the tin cans af a couple of my pals here and there reeeeel tight and see what they have to say about what's up. If I don't get an answer from a couple of the key ones, they're out celebrating, which should mean Good News.

Parliament condemned an American-led attack in Pakistani territory on Thurday after the government summoned the U.S. ambassador to protest the unusually bold raid in a troubled border region.
The same area was hit by a deadly missile strike Thursday, and a man who lives nearby said he later saw Taliban militants surround the site.
The criticism grew two days before Asif Ali Zardari is expected to be chosen as president in a vote by legislators. A spokesman said Zardari condemned Wednesday's pre-dawn assault in the South Waziristan tribal region. It killed at least 15 people, officials say, and was the first known foreign ground assault in Pakistan against a Taliban haven.
