MIR ALI, Pakistan – A suspected U.S. drone fired three missiles at a house in northwestern Pakistan on Sunday, killing five alleged militants in the 14th such attack this month — the most intense barrage since the strikes began in 2004, said intelligence officials.

The house belonged to a local militant and was located in Datta Khel, a town in the North Waziristan tribal area that is controlled by militants who regularly launch cross-border attacks against NATO troops in Afghanistan, said the officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak with the media.

So how long before the personnel involved in targeting and launching the missile end up in Leavenworth?

Were they read their rights and offered benefit of legal counsel in an American court?

Nice of them to have the headline read ‘militants’. Usually they just say ‘people’

Thanks rdl6989.
...killing five alleged militants in the 14th such attack this month -- the most intense barrage since the strikes began in 2004... The house belonged to a local militant... in Datta Khel, a town in the North Waziristan tribal area...

File this under "Using NASA technology to reach out to Muslims".

Caliph Hussein will not be pleased.

Those things are only supposed to be used to kill Jews and Christians.

Pakistan is outwardly troubled by the US missile attacks.

Inwardly they assist us in targeting them. They are no
happier with these militants than we are.

I think that you are right but I wouldn’t trust the Pakistinis to do anything....I think Obama has done two things right during his term in office. Putting more troops ( a surge) in Afghanistan, and use of the drones....they are great.....and relatively inexpensive

Well, I'm glad they used the right noun in this TITLE...

US missile strike kills 5 militants in Pakistan

Very often, news feeds like Reuters would replace the word -- "Militants" with "Pakistanis"

“The drone fired one missile on two militants riding on a motorbike and when two of their colleagues rushed towards them, two more missiles were fired,”

Cool.
