US drone kills Haqqani commander in Pakistan, officials say

suspected U.S. drone strike killed a commander of the Haqqani network in Pakistan, officials said Tuesday, weeks after a massive truck bombing in Kabul's diplomatic quarter that was blamed on the Taliban-affiliated group.

The drone fired two Hellfire missiles on a house used as hideout by Haqqani commander Abu Bakar in a semi-tribal region near the north-western Pakistani town of Hangu, a security official said.

No one else was hurt as Bakar was alone at the time of the dawn attack, said another police officer.

The rare drone strike in Pakistan comes nearly two weeks after more than 150 people were killed in the truck bombing in the Afghan capital.

Afghan intelligence blamed the Haqqani network, but the group denied involvement in a video on Monday.

It was not immediately known if the drone strike was linked to the Kabul bombing.

Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and Afghan President Ashraf Ghani met in the Kazakh capital of Astana last week and vowed to work closely against the "common enemy" of terrorism.

U.S. Defense Secretary James Mattis on Monday said the Pentagon's new plan for Afghanistan will include "a regional approach," hinting towards a focus on Pakistan.

Now, wait for the denials to roll!

Recently Pakistan was saying that they have no relations with Haqqanis. Now a top commander of Haqqanis is killed inside Pakistan by drones. Now what will Pakistan say?

It's a porous border and the tribal regions continue to be poorly governed (military clearance operations are not a substitute for a proper civilian led administrative setup). In addition, the alleged target was an alleged 'commander' living in a house, not a training camp.

So what is there to say?

This is the same excuse Pakistan is giving everytime whenever a top target is killed inside Pakistan. I am sure questions will be asked, and it will hard for Pakistan to explain to the world what is Abu Bakar is doing inside Pakistan.

It's not hard to explain - try reading and comprehending my previous post. Salient points: porous border, poorly governed tribal regions, lone individual in a house NOT a training camp.

no point in raising temper
suppose a hypothetical situation if in india some terrorist operate
do u think any nation on earth can do such thing .i mean there is something called sovereignty u just cant accept other nation bombing u pakistan is a fairly capable nation it had the air force with the BEST PILOT so why they allowed americans they could have taken actions
it might be true that this time only terrorist has been killed but in the past there has been plenty of evidence of collateral damage what about the right of those pakistani what has govt done for their right
if a nation wants to be respected it must first earn to respect itself
ps. its your nation your rule no offense to anybody i just said what i felt it is plausible that i might be completely wrong
