A high-ranking Al Qaeda figure reportedly was killed Thursday in a U.S. drone aircraft attack in north Pakistan.
The attack, first reported by NBC News, was officially denied by Pakistani officials, though sources told Fox News that neither Usama bin Laden or Ayman al-Zawahiri were among those killed.
Pakistani media report six militants were killed in the attack, including four foreign fighters, a classification in the tribal areas that typically refers to Al Qaeda.
The attack was part of the expanded use of Predator drones recently authorized by the White House, sources told Fox News, though the drone attacks, which began during the Bush Administration, never have been officially confirmed because of political sensitivity in Pakistan.

I heard that orders have been cut for the first 16,000 troops (marines?) to go to Afghanistan, and if I remember correctly it said they would start being delivered there in a week or two.

Doesn’t #3 ever meet his buds #1 and #2? Maybe some day, we’ll get the timing right. Too bad if obama gets the credit, though.

Drones and the surrounding politics are the coolest part of modern warfare. We can pretend they don't exist and the countries they fly out of can pretend to be outraged.
**POP** goes the bad guy!
