Another Missile Strike in Waziristan

US predator drones fired hellfire missiles at a madrassa run by a taliban commander in the capital of North Waziristan. The target of the attack was taliban commander Jalaluddin Haqqani who founded the madrassa.

The Pakistani military might have suspended military operations against the taliban for ramadam. But US strikes against the taliban inside Pakistan sure have increased. AKI


Miranshah, 8 Sept. (AKI) - More than 20 people were killed and several others were injured in a suspected missile attack by US drones in Pakistan near the Afghan border on Monday.

A religious school founded by Jalaluddin Haqqani, a Taliban leader, was the apparent target of the aerial attack in Miranshah, capital of the North Waziristan tribal region.

The attack was the fourth cross-border raid against Taliban targets carried out by coalition forces in Afghanistan in recent days and is certain to provoke fierce debate in Pakistan.
