Reports on Thursday said that atleast five people, who are believed to be Islamic insurgents, were killed by another suspected U.S. drone attack in the Pakistan Federally administrated Tribal Region bordering Afghanistan. The attack was in the Saidgai village in Ghulam Khan area of North Waziristan. The drone fired six missiles on a house killing the militants that were inside. The area of the house was a know stronghold of some Islamic insurgents including Al-Qaeda and Taliban. The terrorist groups would use this area to launch cross-border attacks on NATO-led International Security Assistance Force, or the ISAF, troops that were deployed in Afghanistan. An unnamed intelligence official said that the one killed in the drone attack had just returned from attacking ISAF troops in the Khost province.
Many of the terrorist group leaders have been taken out by these drone attacks. It’s just strange to see that the group of terrorist members that were killed in this particular drone attack, had just returned from attacking another group of troops. No it is not anything to celebrate because people lost their lives, but no one can say that they did not have it coming; especially after just returning from that attack. Some may think that the terrorist groups are getting what they deserve. Since they are going out and killing numbers of troops, whether they are NATO, ISAF, or even American military, some would believe they are getting what is coming to them. On the other hand, some people may think the whole thing is just sad. Some would believe that violence will not settle anything and a diplomatic solution is the only way.
