U.S. Predator Drone Attacks Mehsud Training Camp In South Waziristan, 12 Taliban In Line For Virgins


One thing has become painfully obvious to Taliban leader in South Waziristan, Pakistan, Baitullah Mehsud, and that is that the U.S. has found a new favored target for predator drone missile strikes ....his training camps. Today, a U.S. predator drone scored big on one of those training camps killing at least 12 Taliban and more than likely has put Mehsud underground. Here's the entire brief article that has just come out from Dawn:


Suspected US drone attack kills 12 in South Waziristan

ISLAMABAD: Suspected US missiles slammed into a training camp ran by Pakistani Taliban leader Baitullah Mehsud on Tuesday, killing at least 12 militants, intelligence officials said.
The attack took place in the Makeen area of South Waziristan close to the Afghan border, four officials told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity. The missiles were believed launched by unmanned American planes.
‘Our initial reports from agents in the field say at least 12 to 14 Taliban have died in today's American missile attack,’ said one official, adding several militants were also wounded. Mehsud was not among the victims, the officers said.
The United States has launched more than 40 missile strikes against targets in the border area since last August.
