PESHAWAR: A heavy blast was heard at Shewakai Naray village near Wana in South Waziristan Agency (SWA) soon after two US drones were seen hovering over the tribal region on Tuesday night.
Tribal sources told The News from Wana, the SWA's regional headquarters, that a heavy explosion was heard at Shewakai Naray village, 15 kilometres east of Wana. However, they did not know the cause of the explosion.
The sources said two US drones were seen flying over the village when the explosions occurred.
"Yes, an explosion has been heard in Shewakai Naray village but we don't know whether it was caused by missiles fired by the US drone or something else," said an official of the political administration based in Wana.
He said the village was at some distance from Wana with no telecommunication facility and, therefore, it would take some time in getting exact details about the incident.
The tribal people, who heard the blast, said the explosion did not seem to be a missile attack. They said militants had fired heavy weapons at the US drones flying over the village.
"I don't think it could be a missile attack. The explosions which I heard in the past caused by the US drones were very heavy," said Sharifullah Wazir, a resident of Dabkot village in Wana.
He said despite repeated protests by the Ahmadzai Wazir tribesmen over violation of the Pakistan airspace by the US drones and firing of Hellfire missiles on civilian population, two US spy planes were continuously flying over tribal villages of South Waziristan, including Wana, Wacha Khwara, Ziary Noor, Azam Warsak, Dabkot, Karikot, Shewakai Naray, Ghalja and border villages Angoor Adda, Baghar, Sholam and Manja.
The residents said the flight of the two US drones at the same time over the sensitive region had terrified the tribesmen.
"Whenever two US drones came here in the past, they fired Hellfire missiles on tribal villages, killing innocent tribesmen," said Sharifullah.
Meanwhile, the Ahmadzai Wazirs will meet today (Wednesday) in Wana to discuss the flight of the US spy planes and frequent air strikes on their areas.
A grand Jirga of Ahmadzai Wazirs has threatened to scrap the peace agreement with the government if it did not stop the US forces from carrying out operations in the SWA.
Ping.
Give us Osama bin Laden and the ugly birds will go away. ;-)
“Give us Osama bin Laden and the ugly birds will go away.”
Do you really think he is still alive??
Interestingly enough, Pakistan actually owns and operates at least a dozen of its own drones.
The poor villagers can be excused for thinking that *every* drone is a U.S. aircraft, but that’s not 100% true.
Or put another way, a village that opposes Pak’s ISI is toast, and the ISI won’t be blamed.
Exactly if the really want those drones out of their sky they know what to do. Personally if it were me, I don’t think I would fire on them suggesting that I should be a target for them. But to each his own, even the foolish.
If OBL's body is harvested prior to November, New York goes to McCain.
He is, as is Zawahiri and several other HVTs we have been hunting for the past 7 years. But we will get each of them, one by one.....as long as we keep our resolve....
Then give us his bones … all the same to me. ;-)
Considering that we haven’t had a video of him proclaiming how he and his moslem allies are going to kick our asses in sometime … mayhap not.
“Innocent tribesman.” Is that like “honor student” gangstas?
In any event, great psyops. Just keep cheap expendable UAVs flying over them 24/7. They’ll never know which one is the real Predator with the Hellfires.
“Considering that we haven’t had a video of him proclaiming how he and his moslem allies are going to kick our asses in sometime … mayhap not.”
Bingo!!! If he were alive, he would he taunting us. He also would be telling his followers not to despair, that they and Allah would prevail over the great white Satan. It was his MO. He was addicted to video cameras.
Ollie North said all of this years ago. OBL is nothing more than a greasy spot under the gravel pit called Tora Bora.

Naughty Predators.

Search for “terrorists” on maps.google.pk, and you have your targets.
We’ll know for sure when we don’t get the video in October from OBL endorsing OBama
We are coming and you better not stand in the way.
