Taliban Leader Dies of Body Dysmorphic Hallucination Syndrome as Well as Predator-Inflicted Geniune Body Dysmorphism, But Mostly Genuine Body Dysmorphism
Dude, Where's My Head?:
A suspected US missile strike has killed 20 people, including a top Taleban commander, in north-west Pakistan, witnesses and officials say.
Mohammad Omar was among the dead when the missile, reportedly fired by a pilotless US drone, hit a compound owned by him in South Waziristan.
Omar fought with the Taleban in Afghanistan in the late 1990s.
...
The latest strike on Sunday night was launched at a compound owned by Mohammad Omar in Mandatta village in the troubled region of South Waziristan.
Mohammad Omar was a close associate of the dead Taleban commander Nek Mohammed, who was killed in a suspected US strike in the area four years ago.
Witnesses said that the missile strike completely destroyed Mohammed Omar's house, and partially damaged two neighbouring houses.
...
Local officials confirmed that 20 bodies had been dug up from the debris of the compound.
...
The US has made no comment.
The attack comes three days after a missile attack in Dande Darpakhel area of North Waziristan area killed seven students of a religious school.
Over a month ago, US troops conducted a ground operation in the Musa Nikah area of South Waziristan area in which more than 15 people were killed.
In recent weeks the United States has launched many missile strikes against suspected militant targets in the Afghan border region.
...
Figures compiled by the BBC Urdu service show that some 80 people have been killed in a number of suspected US missile strikes in South and North Waziristan region over the past month.
The United States rarely confirms or denies such attacks.
Note we don't talk about these sovereignty-violating airstrikes.
Tough guy Reparations Lightworker Barack Obama is pretty chatty about the Great Overmountain Invasion of Pakistan though, isn't he?
Via Infidels are cool.
Correction/Clarification: Mohammad Omar, not Mullah Omar.
