Pakistan Condemns Purported CIA Airstrike


Pakistan on Saturday condemned a purported CIA airstrike on a border village that officials said unsuccessfully targeted al Qaeda's No. 2 Ayman al-Zawahiri, but did not directly blame the United States for the attack, which left at least 17 people dead.

Villagers denied hosting al-Zawahiri or any other al Qaeda or Taliban figure, and said all the dead were local people.

On Saturday, more than 8,000 tribesmen staged a peaceful protest in a nearby town to condemn the airstrike, which one speaker described as “open terrorism.” Police dispersed a smaller protest in another town using tear gas. A mob torched the office of a U.S.-backed aid agency near Damadola, residents said.


Here's a report that puts a little perspective on my previous post;
U.S. Bombs Pakistan.

Regardless of our reasons (ie; excuses), it's clearly illegal to bomb countries we're not at war with, and murder innocent men, women, and children. When are we going to put a stop to it? When are you going to realize this doesn't "make you safe", it makes more terrorists.
