Suspected U.S. missile strike kills six in Pakistan
Mon Jul 28, 2008 3:43am EDT

WANA, Pakistan (Reuters) - A suspected U.S. missile strike
on a Pakistani madrasa killed six people, including foreigners,
on Monday in tribal lands regarded as an al Qaeda and Taliban
hotbed, intelligence officials said.

The target of the pre-dawn attack was a house close to a
madrasa used by militants near Azam Warsak village, about 20 km
(12 miles) west of Wana, the main town of the South Waziristan
region bordering Afghanistan.

The attack, one of many in recent months, was launched hours
before Pakistani Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani was due to meet
President George W. Bush in Washington for talks that will focus
on the conduct of the war against terrorism.

A Pakistani military spokesman confirmed an incident had occurred in
Waziristan, but said he was unaware of details, though intelligence
officials in Wana gave a clearer picture.

2. People were wondering why we are

going to give Pakistan 100 million+ in "aid". I think we can out, why, now.
