US Predators killed five "militants" today in an area of North Waziristan known to shelter al Qaeda and allied terror groups seeking to attack the West.
Unmanned Predators or the more deadly Reapers fired two missiles (http://www.dawn.com/2011/03/11/four-killed-in-north-waziristan-drone-strike-3.html) at a "militant" vehicle in the town of Khaisor, which is near the town of Mir Ali. Three terrorists were reported killed in the first volley. The Predators then circled back and fired four more missiles at the vehicle as the Taliban attempted to recover the bodies. Two more were reported killed.
No senior al Qaeda, Taliban, or other terrorist leaders have been reported killed in today's strike. But the nature of the strike, including the follow-up attack using four missiles, indicates that a wanted leader or a dangerous operative was the target of the attack.
