MIRAMSHAH: Three US drone attacks killed 18 suspected militants in South and North Waziristan on Wednesday.
Four missiles hit a vehicle carrying suspected militants from Razmak road to Tappi area, some 10km east of Miramshah, the headquarters of North Waziristan Agency.
All eight people on board the vehicle were killed.
The vehicles was destroyed The mutilated bodies were behind recognition.
AP adds: Earlier, missiles targeted a vehicle and a compound near Wana, the main town in South Waziristan Agency, killing 10 people.
The victims were believed to be allied with Maulvi Nazir, a prominent militant commander in the area, according to officials.
Is he prominent enough for a drone to target ?
They recognize their behinds?
What ordnance do the drones shoot?
Just curious.
They recognize their behinds?
So much for blowing their asses away.
I don’t know what else but I have seen reports that they fire “Hellfire” missiles.
I would never have guessed just how effective drones seem to be, especially when used with good intelligence.
Every time I drive through the Eglin AFB reservation, I see a sign way out in the middle of nowhere.
It says “Hellfire test range” with an arrow I think pointing down a small paved road.
Each time I see it the thought comes to mind. “I wonder where they get any to test”?
I can hear the guy on the other end with the buttons, "Oh Boy, Oh Boy".
Hellfire missile for one.
There are probably others as well.
thanks!
