Feel good story of the day.

(LWJ) — US Predators struck for the first time in 19 days in Pakistan’s Taliban-controlled tribal agencies today, killing four “militants” in an attack in South Waziristan.

The unmanned Predators or the more deadly Reapers fired two missiles at a compound in the Azam Warzak area of South Waziristan, according to AFP.

No senior commanders from the Taliban, al Qaeda, or allied terror groups based in the area are reported to have been killed.

Today’s attack in South Waziristan took place in an area of South Waziristan that is controlled by Mullah Nazir, the leader of the Taliban in the Waziri tribal areas. Azam Warzak is on the border with Afghanistan, and is a transit point for Taliban, al Qaeda, and other terrorists heading to and from Pakistan’s war-torn neighbor. Senior al Qaeda leaders are also thought to shelter in Azam Warzak.

Mullah Nazir has openly supported Taliban emir Mullah Omar and al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, and wages jihad in Afghanistan. In an interview with the Asia Times, Nazir rejected claims that he opposed al Qaeda, and affirmed that he considered himself to be a member of the global terror organization.
