At least six people have been killed and several others wounded as US drones destroyed another home in North Waziristan’s Datta Khel region, just the latest in a US air war against the region which has increased in intensity over the past week.
Officials say the six were “suspected” of ties of a high profile warlord from South Waziristan, Hafiz Gul Bahadur. It does not appear that any of those slain were “high value” targets, but this is part for the course for attacks which have killed dozens, including a number of children, over the past week.
The suspected ties to Bahadur could perhaps be a source of problems in this strike, however, as Bahadur has a formal truce with Pakistan’s military. US officials have repeatedly acknowledged Pakistani complicity in the drone strike program, and President Zardari has bragged about providing the US intelligence for some of the targeting.
And while there is no evidence that today’s attack was anything to do with the Zardari government it will almost certainly be viewed as a “sneak attack” against the warlord and could threaten to bring him back on the side of insurgents openly fighting the Pakistani military’s occupation of the Federally Administered Tribal Areas.
This is modern america to kill innocent Muslims and I pray to Allah to punish americans for their silnce. I know this is CIA to appoint agents and then kill them. Pakistani govt. is so corrupt they have no voice as they know that their black deeds will come. This is modern america. Even during our Eid they killed pakistanis.
It wilöl happen just like Faroah who was sunck in sea with his troops.
One day the drones will be brought down and be no more. Drones are evil executioners.
The only option available to the world and the only language the Terrorists can understand though its regrettable to see civilian causalities and also the very fact that we cannot differentiate terrorists and civilians as long as they are collaborators ,lending a helping hand ,provide them amenities to launch atrocities are also come within the broader meaning of terrorists .
It has to be further intensified to make them realize ,no more,they are unreachable and cannot remain above the basic human values and has to pay the price manifold for every single act of terrorism.
So America has more blood on its hands. How much blood can its hands hold? Even if you cup the hands to form a bowl it won't hold much.
No, you'd need a very large dam to hold the blood the U.S. has spilled since WW2, much of it the blood of innocent people, women, children, grandfathers, etc.
Then America doesn't even care whether it spills the blood of its own citizens. Anything for a buck!
