Feel good story of the day part II.
Via LWJ:
Unmanned US drones struck in Pakistan’s Taliban-controlled tribal agency of North Waziristan for the second time in 24 hours, killing four “militants.”
The Predators or the more heavily armed Reapers fired a pair of missiles at a compound in Miramshah, the main town in North Waziristan today, according to AFP and Geo News.
The exact target of the strike has not been disclosed. No senior terrorist leaders or operatives were reported to have been killed in the attack.
The Haqqani Network, a Taliban group that operates in North Waziristan as well as in eastern Afghanistan, administers the area where today’s attack took place. Al Qaeda leaders and operatives, who are closely allied with the Haqqani Network, shelter in the area, as do other terror groups.
The strike is the second in 24 hours. Earlier today, the CIA-operated drones killed 10 Haqqani Network and Central Asian fighters in an attack on a compound in the village of Tappi, just outside of Miramshah.
