US Missile Strike in NWFT Pakistan

We need a lot more missile strikes since Pakistan is basically ceding terroritory over to al Qaida and the taliban. Press TV


Pakistani militants have accused the US of carrying out a missile strike in the Bajur lawless tribal region, killing at least 15 people.

Zafar Ali Shah, a senior leader in Sharif's party, said Thursday that "external forces'' were taking advantage of the government to carry out attacks.

A house belonging to a local tribesman was hit on Wednesday by a guided missile fired from a US drone.

Shah did not directly implicate the United States, and Pakistan has insisted that it does not allow US forces to operate on its territory.

However, villagers in the tribal areas, which are safe havens for al-Qaeda and Taliban fighters, claimed that they have seen US drones firing missiles at suspected militant targets on several occasions in recent years.
