Caution
It's nice that Riaz Khan, unlike many AP writers and editors (an editor could have corrected it), knows that airstrike is one word. Anyhow, this would be good, and a PR coup for W. If it was successful.
But we're doubtful whether AP etc. have better connections than these guys.
DAMADOLA, Pakistan (AP) -- An airstrike in a remote Pakistani tribal area killed at least 17 people, and a senior Pakistani official said Saturday the target was a suspected al-Qaida hideout that may have been frequented by high-level operatives, possibly the No. 2 leader Ayman al-Zawahri.
Citing unnamed American intelligence officials, U.S. networks reported that it was a CIA strike and that al-Zawahri, Osama bin Laden's lieutenant, could have been at a targeted compound in the Bajur area or about to arrive.
