That's right...sit back, sip your morning coffee and relish in the fact that 12 Taliban jihadists are no longer a plague on this Earth as three U.S. predator drone hellfire missiles killed 12 Taliban in the same area of NW Pakistan that took the life of their leader, Baitullah Mehsud! Not a bad way to start the day, huh? The story from Breitbart is extremely brief but what this says is that the CIA is not content to sit back now after getting Mehsud, they are obviously intent on DESTROYING the entire leadership of Mehsud's Pakistani Taliban faction.
If I'm not mistaken, the last half dozen U.S. predator strikes have all come in this same South Waziristan area - I had mentioned about a week ago that Mehsud had a bullseye on his back and that proved correct, but the next three layers of leadership of Mehsud's command structure are now in the same boat. There is no doubt in my mind that the CIA has absolutely perfect intel coming out of NW Pakistan.

12 die in drone attack in northwest Pakistan+
ISLAMABAD, Aug. 11 (AP) - (Kyodo)—At least 12 people were killed in a drone attack on militants' hideout in the South Waziristan tribal area of northwestern Pakistan on Tuesday, official sources said.
They said three missiles believed to have been fired by a U.S. drone hit a house in a village said to be frequented by Tehrik Taliban Pakistan militants.
The area where the missiles struck Tuesday is in the vicinity of where top Pakistani Taliban leader Baitullah Mehsud was reported killed by missiles last Wednesday.
