The US military killed 18 terrorists during two airstrikes in Pakistan's Taliban-controlled tribal
agency of North Waziristan.
The first airstrike occurred in Datta Khel, a region near the main town of Miramshah.
A Hellfire missile fired by either a Predator or a Reaper unmanned aircraft slammed into a vehicle parked outside a home.
Two insurgents were reported killed in the attack.
The second strike took place in the towns of Degan and Ambor Shaga, also the the Datta Khel region. Five or six unmanned strike aircraft fired upwards of 10 Hellfires at Haqqani Network hideouts.
According to Reuters, the strikes targeted "a cave complex, a compound and a vehicle."

Five or six unmanned strike aircraft fired upwards of 10 Hellfires at Haqqani Network hideouts. Wave of the future.
