God bless the CIA.

(LWJ) — US Predators struck again

The unmanned, CIA-operated Predators and Reapers fired missiles at a vehicle in the village of Kutab Khel in the Miramshah area of North Waziristan. Four “militants” were killed in the attack, local Pakistani officials told The Associated Press.

The target of today’s strike is unclear. No senior commanders from the Taliban, al Qaeda, or allied terror groups based in the area are reported to have been killed.

The village is known to host a “mix of Afghan and Pakistani Taliban fighters, as well as other foreign militants,” according to AP. The term foreign fighters is often used to describe al Qaeda and other allied terror groups from outside of Pakistan.

Today’s strike is the second in Pakistan’s tribal areas this month, and the second in two days. The last strike in July took place on the 12 in South Waziristan.
