I guess that would explain the visit by the US Navy chief.

Is'nt it the bad time for a drone strike, given that they are already busy killing each other..... I hope this strike does not unite them....

Why America and Pak army are unable to crush these culprits. crush them all from the roots. they have destroy most of the families by killing their innocent members.

Welcome back & thank you USA.

Thanks USA, Keep it up.

The government should stop negotiating with the terrorists and allow the Pak Army to clean up with a free hand so that the foreigners do not have to intervene in Pakistan

Good

Good

More drones please....????

America is doing what Pakistani state cant take out top Tallban and Al Qaeda leaders

good job...since Mr.Imran is no more a taliban khan now, as per him it was all because of GEO, i hope that drones will finish this manace along with Pak Army.

@Rafiq Yousafzai US protecting and fueling terror sanctuaries in Afg instead!!.. They r not here to help us my friend.. Time for a need to open eyes both in US and pak!

@Rafiq Yousafzai In addition to your comments, we must demand army actions inside pakistan against all terrorists of all nature from karachi to peshawer. INDISCRIMINATELY.

US for its own interest realized that talks between talibans & Pakistan government is an exercise in futility. Talibans are not under a unified command but are splinter groups. Pakistan should seek American help to eliminate this menace. Hope next drone gets mullah Radio, Fazal, a self styled leader of TTP.

Allah knows best what will happen when america leave its bases in afghanistan. Very very critical phase in the history of afghanistan and Pakistan. I hope our leaders have consideration for their countries.

Drones are more accurate than pakistani jets bombarment.Pakistani jets bombarment have caused many innocent civilian death which went unreported bcz ISPR is always there to filter such news.All the news regarding FATA is chanelled through ISPR ,which censored news according to its own purpose.

Not so surprising, it had to happen at one point. Looks like Army and the US are done with waiting for time consuming fruitless dialogues to reach to peace, which is insane to even think about, given the distance between demands of government and terrorists. Strike is only possible with Army consent. And if Army okayed the strike, lets not say requested one, there is a clear change of mind of Army.

Dear Uncle Sam, Can you please take out Mengal Bagh (sp?) in your next strike? Eternally grateful citizenry of Pakistan

Isn't it about time your pathetic slaves of the American rulers authorize to started to shoot down these drones. SHAME!

@malik Shame on you. Try murdering Americans in the USA with Pakistani drones. Taliban should be wiped out by your own army, and not by your enemy.

Good Job USA! but this should have been done by Pak army ...what is taking so long for us to take an action

The drone attack was postponed in view of the negotiation between Government and TTP. Since the talks were failed US has reason to continue it again. Now outlawed Talibans are facing inside fighting among different groups as well as drone attacks. Government should remain at bay and watch the development till the outlawed either surrender or vanish from the scene to end this uncalled insurgency for ever.

BBC reported that these attacks were conducted in Afghanistan not in Pakistan.

Dear Imran Khan. Please block NATO supplies again. It doesn't matter if you'll open them in a week, it's still good publicity. Isn't that what you're always looking for?

once again national bird flying on the sky...welcome back

@Zak No Zak this explains that when the whole of Pakistan was busy condeming the PM candidate in India....america just made you come face to face with reality.

Well Done Pak Army & USA

@siddharth Why do you Indians have to make everything not related to India related to India. What you are saying is irrelevant. That doesn't excuse the fact that Mr. Modi was in some way responsible for violence in Gujrat.

Super wonderful although i am afraid zak has some point there that it might not trigger some kind of unity among the killing hyennas

Few people want to have a pie in every pie... plaguing Pakistan.. we can deal with TTP

Hopefully someone will not come up and reveal that the militants killed in the drone attack were going to bring an important "peace talks message " from taliban leadership. We are fed up with those killers.

Drone kills ten suspected militants on Pak-Afghan border...would it be an extra judicial killing... An extrajudicial killing is the killing of a person by governmental authorities without the sanction of any judicial proceeding or legal process. Extrajudicial punishments are by their nature unlawful, since they bypass the due process of the legal jurisdiction in which they occur. Extrajudicial killings often target leading political, trade union, dissident, religious, and social figures and may be carried out by the state government or other states...One of the most recent issues regarding extrajudicial killing has been the debate about the legal and moral status of targeted killing by unmanned aerial vehicles by the United States.There is a debate regarding the number of civilian and militant casualties. An estimated 286 to 890 civilians have been killed, including 168 to 197 children. Amnesty International found that a number of victims were unarmed and that some strikes could amount to war crimes.

US assisted Pakistan in war on terror and helped in every possible way to fight against enemies of Pakistan. US at its own cost did its best to eliminate the enemies of Pakistan, and for that purpose US started its drone campaign in 2004 and carried it out up to 2013 with mutual understanding between two friend nations. Drones offer a cheap alternative to sending ground forces into Pakistani tribal areas. Such a move would have caused heavy casualties among the local population, as well as destabilized the Pakistani state. Due to their low visibility, drones are considered less disruptive to local politics than any other coercive option. Supporters of enemies of Pakistan made it controversial for their own vested interests. They blamed that US drones are counterproductive & civilians are killed not terrorists. Although figures of casualties shows that drones in the favor of Pakistan. Data shows that since 2012 no civilian was killed, while 2360 terrorists were killed But unfortunately there was huge uproar against US drones, Government of Pakistan formally requested US to halt drone campaign in the name of dialogue with terrorists. US being friend of Pakistan considered Pakistan

I really miss these drones. Those were the days when someone would hit back against these terrorists. NOw we have people like Imran Khan, General Sharif and Nawaz Sharif who are just doing tamasha.

Nisar was so critical of drone attacks in Pakistan whereas stopping them did not yield any positive results. TTP is still dictating terms to the govt and continuing killing of innocent people and security personnel. If Pakistan really wants to win the war against militants, it should allow drone attacks followed by decisive ground operations by the military.

I have serious reservations against using the word "suspected". Does that mean all these 10 guys could have been innocent civilians? I can't imagine drones flying over my house, ready to fire at will.

@Sagheer I know it looks absurd when we link India to Pakistan in a sarcastic way. But brother we too feel bad when for all bad that happens in Pakistan is linked to India. And swear on god I didnt call you brother in a sarcastic way.

@Rafiq Yousafzai the Pakistan army freed Swat and Bajaur from enemy TTP terrorists (who come from Afghanistan and are supported by nefarious elements/nation-states) Swat is paradise again thanks to Pakistan Army

The fig leaf of deniability is not required anymore now. Let there be a close and open coordination between drone strikes and actions of our Army, in order to derive the maximum tactical advantage.
