PESHAWAR: Two US planes on Wednesday evening again violated the Pakistan airspace and attacked the Zeba Mountain near Angoor Adda in the South Waziristan Agency (SWA).
Sources told this correspondent that the US forces from Afghanistan’s adjoining Paktika province fired mortar and artillery shells on South Waziristan, which fell on the mountains near Angoor Adda, the border area between Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Official and tribal sources said two US fighters were seen flying over the Pakistani territory and bombing the border area. They said several bombs were dropped on the Zeba Mountain, which has thick forests. Residents said loud explosions were heard in the distant town of Wana, which is the regional headquarters of SWA. The bombing caused a fire in the forests.
Officials said the US troops based at Machadat camp in the adjoining Paktika province later fired mortar and artillery shells towards the Pakistani territory. However, there were no details of casualties.
In the North Waziristan Agency (NWA) too, two US spy planes were seen flying over the tribal area on Wednesday.Local residents from Miranshah told this correspondent that two unmanned aerial vehicles flew over Miranshah, Dande Darpakhel, Datta Khel, Ghulam Khan, Shawal and Spalga areas.
They said both the unmanned spy planes made flights at an extremely low altitude and terrified the local tribesmen. A senior government official in Miranshah, on condition of anonymity, told The News that they had informed the concerned officials in Peshawar about the flights of US unmanned aerial vehicles over the town.

I've become convinced that the ineptitude characterized by the Bush Administration, when it comes to actually thinking intelligently about policy and repercussions from polices, is shared by the US military leadership in general.
Blow **** up and pulverize an opposing force - they are the men for the job!
They have no clue what to do after, except blow more **** up.
