ISLAMABAD – Missiles believed fired from a U.S. unmanned plane slammed into a house used by militants in northwestern Pakistan on Thursday, killing seven people, a government official and a witness said,
The identities of the victims in the attack in Kurram region were not immediately known.
A senior official in the region said the house targeted was believed to be frequented by Islamist militants. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to release the information.
Villager Ismail Khan said spy planes were seen hovering over the area shortly before the attack, adding that local militants had retrieved seven bodies from the destroyed house.

I have to say, I’m a little surprised Obama is allowing these attacks to continue.
Of course, he was the guy who said he’d invade Pakistan. lol
not a duplicate thread, tho an identically titled one was posted 3/1/09

Obama - quick, surrender now before we win...
And privately, Obama cries.
Obamma will stop this action as soon as he gets the teleprompter to work
No appeals to the Supreme Court either.
He has to....its play offense...or risk a strike here at home.....he ain’t no dummy.
According to Biden, this strike killed 0.035 extremists, 2.5 semi hard core Taliban and 3.575 poor Arabs who were only in it for the money. Or some figure close to that.
The right way to reach out to the Taliban.
Finally, some good news! Hell, post it again tomorrow.
Your tag still has me chortling. We should have a post with the top 100 tags at FR.
Most likely HELLFIRE II missiles.
Developed by the HELLFIRE/Ground LASER Designator Project Office at Redstone Arsenal as the tank killer for the Apache helicopter, HELLFIRE is now killing islamofascists from Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS).
We love the smell of HELLFIREs in the morning!
Only Biden labels Talaban Islamofacists Terrorist as moderates.
The minute the last one quits wasting oxygen and leaving a carbon footprint, the better off all of us will be.
Many thanks. At one time somebody did post a list of top RF taglines. It’s kind of an art form here, so it might be time for another such list.
The strike was by 4 Hellfires on an old madrassa run by the Haqqanis. Confirmed that most of the dead were Afghan Taliban but also Uzbeks. That would indicate a high value Al Qaeda target was there.
So far 15 KIA and at least 14 wounded.
This was a big gathering, 4 Hellfires, something big went down.
BOOM BOOM!!! Out go da lights!!! da da da da da da da....
Woah. Groovy.
ah yes... “Hellfire: We you care enough to send the very best”.
Good hunting, guys... wherever you are...
