US drones fired a salvo of missiles into a compound in Pakistan's tribal district of North Waziristan on Friday, killing eight suspected militants, local security officials said.
The attack came just four days after US commandos shot dead Osama bin Laden in Pakistan's garrison city of Abbottabad, hundreds of kilometres from the tribal belt and just two hours' drive from the capital.
"A compound and a vehicle were targeted by US drones in the Datta Khel area of North Waziristan killing eight militants," a senior Pakistani security official told AFP on condition of anonymity.
"Eight missiles were fired on the targets located close to each other," he said, adding that four other suspected militants were wounded.
A pretty big middle finger to Pakistan’s leaders . . . after they called for a stop to these attacks in Pakistani land. Guess that harboring Bin Laden was the wrong call!
That data from OBL's compound... it's Explosive.

How can a country not know the world’s #1 terrorist is living - literally - next door to your military academy?!
Pakistan is either -
(a) lying
(b) hopelessly incompetent, or
(c) both.
ANY of these choices means Pakistan is an unreliable “ally”. Sometimes it’s just best to do the work yourself.
Love the smell of fresh intel in the morning. Thanks bin Leaded!
Fire some missiles into the Pakistan intel and administration buildings. You’ll get more terrorist facilitators and sympathizers if not outright terrorists.
