Missile hits Pakistan's Waziristan

By Hafiz Wazir2 hours, 3 minutes ago

A missile struck a house in a Pakistani region known as being a safe haven for al Qaeda early on Thursday, killing 10 suspected militants including foreigners, intelligence officials and residents said.

The attack took place near Kaloosha village in the South Waziristan tribal region on the Afghan border.

"The blast shook the entire area," said resident Behlool Khan.

A security official said he believed the missile was fired by U.S. forces who are operating in neighboring Afghanistan, and the house that was hit belonged to a Pashtun tribesman, Sher Mohammad Malikkheil, also known as Sheroo, who was known to have links with militants.

America used to have Laws against such behavior. We are not allowed by Law to assassinate people in other countries. We are not at war with Pakistan. We can't just enter their country and start killing people. That is not the American way. That is called murder.
