Another UAV Predator Attack In Pakistan - This Time In Mehsud's Backyard

Baitullah Mehsud, the scourge of Pakistan, the chickenshit ally of the Taliban and al Qaeda, the yellow belly that directed the murder of a woman, Benazir Bhutto, probably isn't going to sleep well tonight as a unmanned drone last night fired three hellfire missiles into Mehsud's neighborhood in Makeen situated in the South Waziristan tribal area of Pakistan. Here's a bit of the article, but bear with it as it is coming out of a press release in India and at time, their coherency is challenging:

A suspected Taliban militant was killed when an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) fired three missiles at houses in Pakistan's troubled South Waziristan tribal region.The drone aircraft fired the missiles at houses in Makeen town after Taliban militants targeted it with rocket- propelled grenades late last night.However, the drone was flying at a high altitude and the rockets could not reach it, local tribesmen said.The drone fired the missiles in a bid to target the suspected hideout of Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan commander Baitullah Mehsud. Local residents found a body from the debris of a house hit by the missiles, TV channels reported.

As you can see, there was on Taliban killed in the attack but there have been no reports or rumors that it was Mehsud. But the fact of the matter is ...we are after this POS's ass and he better know it now. I can think of only three people we would rather kill in Pakistan right now...al Qaeda #1, al Qaeda #2 and Mullah Omar. Mehsud - well, I hope he decides he better get on the midnight express that bin Laden had to ride for three years. It'll warm my heart to see the feeble old Mehsud hoofing it through the mountains at night begging for someone to give him a bed and a bowl of vittles.

And the whole time, this excuse of a human will be watching those skies above him, wondering if he heard a drone. :evil grin:

UAV fire missiles at militants' hideout in Pak; One killed

Islamabad, June 15 (PTI) A suspected Taliban militant was killed when an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) fired three missiles at houses in Pakistan's troubled South Waziristan tribal region.The drone aircraft fired the missiles at houses in Makeen town after Taliban militants targeted it with rocket- propelled grenades late last night.However, the drone was flying at a high altitude and the rockets could not reach it, local tribesmen said.The drone fired the missiles in a bid to target the suspected hideout of Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan commander Baitullah Mehsud. Local residents found a body from the debris of a house hit by the missiles, TV channels reported.

The attack came four days after 11 Pakistani security personnel and up to 10 tribesmen were killed in an air and ground strike on a Pakistani border post by US-led coalition forces in Afghanistan.Makeen is a stronghold of Mehsud, whose group is currently engaged in peace parleys with the government. President Pervez Musharraf had last year accused Mehsud of masterminding the killing of former premier Benazir Bhutto.

There have been several missile strikes this year in Pakistan's tribal belt by drones operated by US forces.Tribesmen in Makeen said a drone had been spotted flying over the town earlier yesterday. They said it was the pilotless Predator aircraft operated by the US forces and increasingly used to hit suspected militant hideouts with Hellfire missiles.Even after the missile strike, two drones were seen flying over Makeen. This caused a scare in the town, as people feared more attacks. Drones were also seen flying over the Azam Warsak area near Wana, the headquarters of South Waziristan, yesterday. PTI
