Feel good story of the day.

Unmanned US strike aircraft attacked terrorist targets in Pakistan’s Taliban-controlled tribal agency for the third time in less than three weeks, killing four “militants” in an area known to serve as an al Qaeda haven.
The Predators or Reapers, more commonly called drones, fired a pair of missiles at a vehicle traveling in the town of Degan near Miramshah, according to AFP.
“The vehicle burst into flames after the missiles hit. Militants have cordoned the area and (are) taking out the bodies,” a local Pakistani official told AFP. The operatives are said to be from Turkmenistan.
The exact target of the strike has not been disclosed, and the identity of those killed is not known. The Turkmen fighters may be members of the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan or one of the smaller Central Asian terrorists groups, such as Jund al Khilafa, that operate in Pakistan’s tribal areas.
