Unmanned US strike aircraft killed six Islamist extremists in an attack on a compound in Pakistan's Taliban-controlled tribal agency of North Waziristan.
The strike took place in the Datta Khel region in North Waziristan, a region that hosts a headquarters for al Qaeda's Shadow Army.
"Two missiles fired by a US drone hit a compound which was being used by militants," a senior Pakistani security official told Dawn. "One missile hit a compound and the other hit a vehicle outside it. Six militants were killed."
No senior al Qaeda or Taliban commanders have been reported killed in the strike at this time.

But, were they mirandized?
Will the Justice Department prosecute the RPV pilots and their chain of command? If not, why not? I mean, terrorism after all is a criminal matter, Right?

Is Waziristan near Mariostan, or is it closer to Luigistan?
