May be unrelated, but this sounds like a Predator eye in the sky was working that area in recent past

One of the homes belonged to a villager named Pao Jan Ahmedzai Wazir, a local tribesman, said Anwar Shah, a resident of a neighboring village. Several women and children who were inside Wazir's house and two other homes nearby were killed when U.S. and Afghan troops opened fire on the buildings. "The situation there is very terrible. People are trying to take out the dead bodies," Shah said.

Via Yahoo Singapore: Pakistani parliament condemns US-led attack By NAHAL TOOSI,Associated Press Writer
AP - Friday, September 5ISLAMABAD, Pakistan -

Parliament condemned an American-led attack in Pakistani territory on Thurday after the government summoned the U.S. ambassador to protest the unusually bold raid in a troubled border region.

The same area was hit by a deadly missile strike Thursday, and a man who lives nearby said he later saw Taliban militants surround the site.

The criticism grew two days before Asif Ali Zardari is expected to be chosen as president in a vote by legislators. A spokesman said Zardari condemned Wednesday's pre-dawn assault in the South Waziristan tribal region. It killed at least 15 people, officials say, and was the first known foreign ground assault in Pakistan against a Taliban haven.

It begins.... Open hot-pursuit, ground counter-attack in Pakistan. This is the game-changer in Stan. Let's get it on.

Bump! It also forces Stan to come clean. They have been open enablers despite promising otherwise....and we hesitated while Musharrif was pretending to back us...and "protect" Stan's nukes from the "bad guys".

Looks like that ruse has been seen through finally.
