2nd U.S. Strike in Pakistan in 2 Days
The English isn't the best, but from what I gather it was a Predator strike. But this is a Pakistani paper so who knows. Something probably happened, what it was is any one's guess.
It's not clear to me whether we are simply sick of the Pakistanis stalling in their efforts to root out the Taliban and so we are taking matters into our own hands, or if we are sending them a more general message about our ability to strike wherever we want with or without their permission?
US aircrafts violated Pakistan air space and launched another air strike in the South Waziristan tribal region, witnesses said on Thursday. There was no casualty but the air raid at Angoor Ada near the Afghan border created panic among the people.Thanks to Jimbo.According to sources, the US planes on Wednesday night bombed Zeyub mountainous range, around 25 km west of Wana, the center of South Waziristan. The air strike uprooted trees and created deep caves in the mountainous region....
Sources said that the American spy planes were seen flying at low altitude in North Waziristan.
