PESHAWAR, Pakistan - A suspected U.S. missile strike killed the alleged ringleader of a plot to blow up trans-Atlantic jets, Pakistani television and intelligence officers said on Saturday.
Rashid Rauf, a British Islamist militant with links to al-Qaida, was among five victims of an attack launched by a suspected U.S. pilotless drone aircraft in the North Waziristan tribal region.
Intelligence officers in the region, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Reuters that Rauf, who escaped from custody outside an Islamabad court last December, had been killed. However, there was no official confirmation.

That’s the kind of due process I can believe in.
Ditto to that !!
Mrs. Rashid Rauf recently said, “I remember the good old days when the only deadly thing that fell from the sky was Eagle guono.”
Too bad we can’t get the military to do a missile strike on certain Americans who were ringleaders of a plot to blow up government buildings and kill cops and military personnel. You know, the creeps who are now comfortably ensconced as tenured “change agents” in academia, education, and law firms.
The guy is dead, but it is only a “suspected” missile strike?
But they are apparently certain that someone was killed by something.

Yes, it still is against international law to invade another country to remove trash. the old dirt bag blew himself up playing with one of those belts. To bad, rub a little pig fat on the next belt.
These bad boys are safer in downtown London than they are in the ‘wilds’of Pakistan.
