'High value target' killed in Pakistan

Senior U.S. and Pakistani officials tell NBC News that Wednesday’s Predator attack on a village in northwest Pakistan was not insignificant, that a “high-value target … an Arab” was among those killed. U.S. officials believe the unnamed target was planning attacks outside Pakistan, “so we nailed him,” in the words of one.

By all accounts, on Wednesday evening, two male guesthouses in the village of Damodola were struck by Hellfire missiles fired from Predator drones.

Pakistani officials have quietly said that under new arrangements with the United States, the CIA must first “consult” with Pakistan before an attack. In the past, the CIA was only required to “inform” the Pakistanis. However, say U.S. officials, the agreement also gives the U.S. more latitude in identifying suspected al-Qaida targets, and hence a continued free hand in taking them out.

Well this seems to be some Arab guy... must be a close ally of Bin Laden or Al-Zihari we as a common Pakistan are very tired of these retards living in mountains therefore we don't protest hugely against those US attacks against them, even though it's violation of our sovereignty

No its not....the government must want to keep it silent over here for some reason would be my guess...usually stuff like this hits the news right away.

Thank for the heads up. I just realised where you where in the world!!
I can't find anything here on the news outlets yet. I'm sure in the morning FOX will have it. The rest of the liberal media will slant it into a horrible killing of civilians with carnage unheard of in the history of warfare,LOL

Yes you could be right, they just want people to know what they want them to know... even here such attacks do not make headlines ... however somehow there was massive media coverage on this particular incident, it was the first ever US missile attack since the New Govt sworn-in !!
