ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (AP) - Missiles fired from a suspected U.S. spy plane killed seven people Friday on the Pakistan side of the Afghan border, a lawless region where al-Qaida militants are known to hide out, officials said. The strike was the first on Pakistani territory since the inauguration of President Barrack Obama. Pakistani leaders had expressed hope Obama would halt the attacks, more than 30 of which have been launched since the middle of last year, reportedly killing several senior militants. The pro-U.S. government routinely protests them as a violation of the country's sovereignty, but most observers speculate it has an unwritten agreement allowing them to take place. One drone fired three missiles into the village of Zharki in North Waziristan, hitting two buildings, the intelligence officials said on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media. At least seven people were killed, but there identities were not immediately known. The United States rarely acknowledges firing the missiles, which are mostly fired from drones believed launched from neighboring Afghanistan. Pakistan's air force is not known to possess drones. NATO officers in Afghanistan say they respect Pakistani sovereignty.

NATO officers in Afghanistan say they respect Pakistani sovereignty, it's those US officers doing this bullshit.
Only a fool would meddle in Afghan.
It seems some never learn from history
It does give one an indication that the military is in charge
Obama only uses LOVE missiles to kill innocent men, women and children. Change, baby!
sick
We have 31,000 troops in Afghan and Obongo is sending 30,000 more because the military wants them. I thot Obongo was in charge????

I thot Obongo was in charge???? In two days, both he and his spokesman, Gibbsy, have exposed themselves as frontmen. It would take a promotion to be a puppet. It took a couple of years for Bush to be found out, though surely some will say they always knew. Partisans had two years to evaluate the actions of their parties and do the right thing. They did not. And as always, the children will pay in blood. So, who's in charge? *gag*
