MIRANSHAH: US drones fired a barrage of 11 missiles at a house and a vehicle in the Datakhel Tehsil of North Waziristan, killing six people and injuring three others on Tuesday, officials said.
The drones targeted a compound and vehicles parked outside the house, one senior Pakistani security official told AFP on condition of anonymity.
We fear the death toll may rise, the official added.
On Sunday, a suspected US drone strike in the Inzar Kala area of Tehsil Datakhel, killed nine people and injured five more, reported DawnNews.

Another
source is now saying: "Five US drones fired 18 missiles, killing eight militants. They targeted a compound and vehicles parked outside the house," one senior Pakistani security official told media on condition of anonymity."
I didn't think Predators could carry that much ammo. This is getting interesting.

The Predators are surprisingly armed to the teeth.
They ain’t no Warthogs, though.....

We fear the death toll may rise, the official added. I fear he's wrong.

The Predators can’t, but the Reapers can hold up to 14 hellfire missiles.

Thanks rdl6989! Nice shootin’ to all involved.
The only things worse than a drone attack which kills six in North Waziristan is a drone attack that kills fewer than six in North Waziristan.
