Whoa! U.S. Predator Drones Find Taliban/al Qaeda Training Camp In North Waziristan....16 Jihadis No Longer In Training


This is bloody huge! U.S. predator drones literally discovered and then engaged a Taliban/al Qaeda training camp in North Waziristan agency in Pakistan today and after firing five hellfire missiles into the camp, a total of 16 jihadis were killed. Sixteen! Yahooooo!

There have been very few predator drone strikes that have seen this kind of death toll so this is one for the record books, and I would guess that the Taliban will be screaming about this one for a week.

The report is from DAWN.



US missiles strike militant training camp in North Waziristan


MIRAMSHAH: US missiles struck an insurgent training camp in Pakistan’s tribal district of North Waziristan on Wednesday, killing 16 militants close to the Afghan border, local security officials said.

The strike took place at the village of Zoynarai in the Shawal area close to the border at around 12.00pm (0700 GMT), the Pakistani officials said.

“In North Waziristan US drones fired five missiles at a militant training camp, killing 16 militants,” a senior security official told AFP.

Another security official confirmed the attack and death toll.

Wednesday’s strike came two days after US missiles killed 18 militants in neighbouring South Waziristan in the deadliest strikes for months.
