Bada bing!  Paydirt!

The U.S. drones continued the hit parade today in Pakistan's northwest when hellfires rained down on a home and vehicle in North Waziristan - the attack by FOUR drones ended up killing senior al Qaeda commander, Mohammad Ahmed Almansoor, and three others.

This was a very quick identification of a senior al Qaeda casualty so this guy must have been pretty well known in the area.

Good shooting guys.

The story comes from DAWN.



Drone strike in North Waziristan kills four


PESHAWAR: A US drone attack killed a senior al Qaeda commander in Pakistan’s northwest on Sunday, military intelligence officials said, the second militant leader to be killed in strikes by the unmanned aircraft in three days.

The attack killed Mohammad Ahmed Almansoor and three others in Tabbi village close to Miramshah, the main town in North Waziristan, near the Afghan border, Reuters reported.

The drone fired missiles at a house with Almansoor inside, destroying two rooms and a car. Four drones were seen flying over the area during the attack, residents and government officials said.

Tabbi village, which is very close to the Afghan border, is said to be a hideout for militants belonging to several groups including those from Hafiz Gul Bahadur and the Haqqani network.
