    Two missiles fired by a suspected US drone near the Afghan border in north-west Pakistan hit a house of a local tribesman. According to reports, the missiles were targeting the building  that was believed to be used as Taleban recruitment office. The exact location of the attack is in the Sarpul area of Kurram, 15km (nine miles) from the border with Afghanistan’s Khost province.

    Aside from this recent attack, the US has previously launched many such air strikes in an attempt to wipe out the Taleban and al-Qaeda militants in Pakistan’s tribal regions. While, Pakistan political parties have been against such attacks and have outwardly criticised on such actions.

    The Pakistani government has not yet commented on the attack. However, local administration officials confirmed that the house belongs to the organisation of Taleban leader Baitullah Mehsud.

      Now we are flying aircraft without pilots on board. It is safer for our pilots, but is it always accurate and on the right target? I would think so, but always have in the back of head, what if it’s not.
