Paks attack al Qaeda camp killing 15 Reuters/NY Times: Pakistan army helicopter gunships killed at least 15 al-Qaeda militants, mostly Uzbeks, in a pre-dawn raid near the Afghan border on Sunday, a military spokesman said. Major General Waheed Arshad told Reuters the gunships pounded two militant hideouts for several hours near Mir Ali town in the North Waziristan tribal region. "We have credible information that the two compounds have been destroyed and 15 miscreants, including 10 Uzbeks, have been killed in the strike," Arshad said. Many radical Islamists from Uzbekistan have taken refuge in the Pakistani tribal lands and forged ties with al Qaeda in the past decade. The military spokesman said militants were not only attacking security forces from the compounds but also making bombs there. He said no infantry soldiers were engaged in the operation. ... While Reuters sees the "violence" as one more headache for Musharraf, I think it is good news that they are reengaging in the war with the Islamic religious bigots and that they are destroying their bases. That should be a headache for the enemy, but then for Reuters, one man's enemy is a Reuters' freedom fighter. POSTED BY MERV prairiepundit.blogspot.com
