Predator Drones kill 12 in Waziristan

Another 12 terrorits sent to hell by 4 Hellfire missiles. Seems to me these missile strikes always happen on a Friday. Reuters

The latest missile strike hit a house in a remote village on the border between North and South Waziristan, where Baituallah Mehsud, an al Qaeda ally and leader of the Pakistani Taliban, has been bottled up by Pakistani forces since early this year.

"We have reports that 12 people were killed, including five foreigners," a paramilitary official said by telephone from Waziristan.

It was unclear if the dead foreigners included Arabs, who usually signify an al Qaeda presence.

A relative and aides to Mehsud, and Pakistani government and paramilitary officials said the attack happened at around 1:45 a.m. (2045 GMT), and up to four missiles were fired.

"There were two drones flying in our area and they fired four missiles," a paramilitary official said. "They were American."
