US drone raid 'kills 25' in N Waziristan

Supposedly 9 civilians were killed.
Anymore I look at it as guilt by association, the way that these people work women and children are just as capable of committing acts of terrorism right along with any of the Taliban!

Possibly some High Value Targets?


BBC
At least 25 people have been killed in a US drone strike in the troubled Pakistani tribal region of North Waziristan, officials told the BBC.

Missiles were fired on a large compound in the town of Spinwam, but five women and four children in a nearby house were also killed.

The area is a haven for al-Qaeda and Taliban militants.

Meanwhile, at least 13 soldiers died when hundreds of insurgents attacked a checkpoint near the Afghan border.

Pakistani security officials told the BBC that Afghan militants had crossed the border and stormed the army post in the Lower Dir area.

Security forces temporarily abandoned the post but now, residents say, they are back in control and have placed the entire area under curfew.
