US Drones Four More Pakistanis
Pakistani officials: US missiles kill 4 in vehicle
(AP) – 5 hours ago

MIR ALI, Pakistan (AP) — Suspected U.S. missiles destroyed a moving vehicle near Pakistan's border with Afghanistan on Friday, killing four alleged militants inside it, Pakistani intelligence officials said.

The attack by unmanned drones near Marsi Khel village in North Waziristan is the second in a week as the U.S. intensifies its search-and-destroy missions in the strongholds of Taliban and al-Qaida-linked fighters.

The aircraft fired two missiles at the vehicle Friday afternoon, according to two Pakistani intelligence officials.

The identity of those killed was not immediately known but they were suspected to be militants, the officials said. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to release the information.

The U.S. has launched more than 100 missile strikes in Pakistan so far this year, a major surge over previous years for the drone program that is rarely officially acknowledged by Washington.

2. Using the word " drones" as a verb is a good idea.
Hope more people do it.
Raise some awareness.
I noted the use of the word " suspected" and "alleged" militants.
Truth to tell, they have no way of knowing who they kill, and I doubt very much they care, since the whole purpose is to invade and control.

Exactly WHO are the "terrorists", again???
