I love the smell of crispy fried jihadi bits in the morning.

(LWJ)– US Predators struck again in Pakistan’s Taliban-controlled, al Qaeda haven of North Waziristan, killing four “foreigners.”

Today’s strike took place in the village of Hyderkhel in the Mir Ali area of North Waziristan. Unmanned Predators, or the more heavily armed Reapers, “fired two missiles at a militant compound” in the village a, Pakistani intelligence official told AFP.

Four “foreigners,” a term used to describe Arab al Qaeda or Central Asian terrorists, are reported to have been killed, the Pakistani official said. No senior al Qaeda, Taliban, or other terrorist leaders have been reported killed in today’s strike.

The Mir Ali area is in the sphere of influence of Abu Kasha al Iraqi, an al Qaeda leader who serves as a key link to the Taliban and supports al Qaeda’s external operations network. Taliban leader Hafiz Gul Bahadar and the Haqqani Network also operate in the Mir Ali area. Mir Ali is a known hub for al Qaeda’s military and external operations councils.
