U.S. airstrike believed to have killed Qaeda men


ISLAMABAD, Jan 17 (Reuters) - A U.S. airstrike in Pakistan last week killed at least four foreign terrorists, a Pakistani official said on Tuesday.

Fahim Wazir, the chief government official in the region where the strike occurred, said at least 10 or 12 terrorists from outside Pakistan had been invited to attend a feast in the village of Damadola.

Wazir said in a statement that militants had carted off the bodies of the foreigners before authorities arrived at the scene of the attack.



Pakistani protesters chant anti-U.S. slogans as they protest against the U.S. airstrike on Damadola in Bajaur tribal area during a rally in Peshawar January 17, 2006. Pakistan's President Pervez Musharraf will address the nation on Tuesday, officials said, with a storm of protest still to die down over last week's U.S. airstrike on Pakistani territory.

Ok, if the bodies were carted off, how did they know how many "terrarists" were killed?
