17 Killed in US Drone Attacks in Pakistan
Monday, June 6th, 2011 at 7:25 am UTC
Intelligence officials in northwest Pakistan say three U.S. drone-fired missile strikes have killed at least 17 militants.
Authorities say all the strikes Monday were in South Waziristan, the country's restive tribal region near the Afghan border. U.S. drone strikes against insurgents in the border region of Pakistan have been a source of friction between the two countries. U.S. officials have never publicly acknowledged the use of drones inside Pakistan, but privately they have confirmed the strikes to various news outlets, saying the operations have killed mostly militants.
The attacks come after the reported death of al-Qaida operative Ilyas Kashmiri in a U.S. drone strike in the tribal region Friday.
obama is a war criminal. Killing innocent ppl without due process
It is long past time for Spain, Italy, France, etc., to indict the war criminal Ubama.
This is about the only thing he’s doing right.
Unfortunately for him, the anti-military MSM won’t talk about these strikes (for fear of alienating their base), so it’s only us right-wing military buffs who ever find out about it.
Bwaaaahahahaha, Obama can’t win even when he does win!
There were 4 drone strikes last night. Rumors a high value target was hit, very high value.
Time will tell.
THANKS for the ping Gandalftb.
