Feel good story of the day.

The US killed six “militants,” including foreigners, in the second drone strike in Pakistan’s Taliban-controlled tribal area of North Waziristan in two days after a two-month lull in strikes.
Today’s strike took place in the village of Dogga near Miramshah, the main town in North Waziristan. The unmanned Predators or Reapers fired a pair of missiles at a vehicle in the village, Pakistani intelligence officials told Reuters.
“The missiles hit two cars that were heading towards the [Afghan] border. Several foreigners were in the cars, but we have no information on their nationalities yet,” an intelligence official told Reuters. Pakistani officials often use the term “foreigners” to describe members of al Qaeda and other non-Pakistani terror groups operating in the country.
Today’s strike takes place just one day after four “militants,” including three “Arabs,” were killed in a drone strike that hit a compound on the outskirts of Miramshah.
