Agence France-Presse January 14, 2010 US missile strike kills 10 in NW Pakistan: officials By S.H. Khan -More than 700 people have died in about 77 drone strikes in Pakistan since August 2008, but US officials do not confirm individual attacks. PESHAWAR, Pakistan: Missiles fired by US drone aircraft hit a militant training camp in northwest Pakistan Thursday, killing at least 10 people, officials said, as Washington and Islamabad clash over the strikes. It was the seventh bombing raid by unmanned US planes this month as Pakistan sees a surge in the strikes, which fuel anti-American sentiment in the nuclear-armed Muslim nation and draw public condemnation from the government. .... Thursday's assault took place in Pasalkot village in a remote area of North Waziristan.... "It was a US drone strike which took place between 7.00 am (0200 GMT) and 8.00 am. At least 10 people, mostly militants, have been killed in the missile strike. The toll is likely to rise," said a local intelligence official. .... A senior security official confirmed the death toll, and said four missiles were fired from unmanned planes in the remote area. .... A US senator on Wednesday scolded Pakistan's leaders for privately supporting US drone strikes while publicly denouncing them. "What troubles me is the public attack on these drone attacks when at the same time they've privately obviously not told us that we must stop," said Senator Carl Levin, chairman of the US Senate Armed Services Committee. .... On Wednesday, Pakistan's foreign minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi said the strikes sour relations with Washington, while President Asif Ali Zardari has warned they undermine public support for their own military operations. .... More than 700 people have died in about 77 drone strikes in Pakistan since August 2008, but US officials do not confirm individual attacks. =========================== Stop NATO http://groups.yahoo.com/group/stopnato Blog site: http://rickrozoff.wordpress.com/ To subscribe, send an e-mail to: [email protected] or [email protected] Daily digest option available. ============================== --------------------------- ANTI-NATO INFORMATION LIST --^---------------------------------------------------------------- This email was sent to: [email protected] EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?a84x2u.bNM5nn.YXJjaGl2 Or send an email to: [email protected] For Topica's complete suite of email marketing solutions visit: http://www.topica.com/?p=TEXFOOTER --^----------------------------------------------------------------
