sounds like a success op

Pakistan security officials said the missiles hit an Islamic school being used by militants as a training camp.
“The attack happened at 7 a.m. (0200 GMT) and we have reports of 10 deaths at the moment. They’re all militants,” a security official who declined to be identified told Reuters.
U.S. officials say the drones are an effective weapon against militants and the strikes are carried out under an agreement with Islamabad that allows Pakistani leaders to criticise them in public. Pakistan denies any such agreement.

“allows Pakistani leaders to criticise them in public. Pakistan denies any such agreement.”
Classic!
Great news!
I think this is just a piece of what those scum can expect in return for their recent attack on the CIA base.
Were they “Mirandized” first?
Good news (( ping )) !
*Picturing Mirandizing a smoldering pile.*
Now that IS some good news! Thanks for the heads up.
BUMP.
Thanks for the ping rdl6989.
Jet thanks for the heads up it was Hakimullah Mehsud they went after reports are conflicted if we got him..
So rather than spend $400 million on a civilian criminal trial for Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, I propose we parachute him into Pakistan and then launch a drone attack on him.
Much cheaper and in line with President Zero’s finely tuned sense of jurisdprudence.
North Waziristan is a known sanctuary for al Qaeda and Taliban militants....or, it could be written...
North Waziristan is now a known sanctuary for ten fewer al Qaeda and Taliban militants.Thanks rdl6989.
