Crazy idea? No I think our President wants this project done.
Pakistan missile strike kills 12 in new violence
Twelve suspected militants were killed by a missile strike in Pakistan's
troubled tribal belt, hours after gunmen held 300 children hostage at a nearby
school, officials said Tuesday. The missile hit a house on Monday night in the North Waziristan tribal district
bordering Afghanistan, where thousands of Pakistani troops are battling Al-Qaeda
and Taliban-linked fighters. Officials did not say if there was any connection between the missile strike and the school siege.
Missile attacks have claimed the lives of several militants in Pakistan. A US Predator drone targeted Al-Qaeda's deputy leader Ayman al-Zawahiri in January 2006, killing several rebels but missing him.
In December 2005, Egyptian Al-Qaeda explosives specialist Hamza Rabia was killed in a blast in North Waziristan. Residents said it was a missile strike but the military insisted he was killed by one of his own bombs.
