Pakistan: US drone strike 'kills 15' people

[The Northerner]

At least 15 people have been killed in a US drone strike in the Pakistani tribal area of North Waziristan, officials say.

They told the Associated Press news agency that the attack took place in Shawal region near the Afghan border.

The US says North Waziristan is home to several militant groups involved in attacks on Nato forces in Afghanistan.

Officials say the drone fired five missiles, destroying a fortress-like militant compound in Zoi village.

A vehicle in the area was also reported to have been hit. Officials say the death toll may rise. They said all those killed were militants, but their group affiliations are still unclear.

1. The US action in Pakistan is one big f**k up.

I don't know who is running it, but a promise was made just a few days ago not to kill any more civilians.

2. The US feels that anyone carrying a gun is a militant

So when you are hunting this fall check the skies to make sure that there is not a drone in the area ........... you never know

3. Now be fair...

Just don't go hunting in Pakistan.

Or if you do, just don't be a brown person hunting in Pakistan.
