"The al-Qaida leader was killed in May 2011 during a Navy SEAL raid on the three-story compound. U.S. officials have said the house wasn't built until 2005, and Pakistani officials have said they believe he moved there in the summer of that year."He may have been in Abbottabad before the compound was built.
Two French journalists kidnapped and killed in Mali.
Gulf nations increase aid to Syrian terrorists.
1983 NATO war game was so realistic, the Soviet Union almost launched nuclear missiles. Provoking a nuclear power doesn't make much sense, but the US still does it to North Korea.
Numbers support case that Pakistan government secretly condones US drone strikes.
"But Pakistan’s ministry of defense told parliament Oct. 31 that only 67 civilians were among 2,227 people killed in 317 drone strikes in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) since 2008. Pakistan had recently told the UN that at least 400 civilians had been killed in drone attacks since 2004.I find it hard to believe that only 67 civilians were killed.
The Pakistani defense ministry statement endorses the U.S. position that these attacks have killed only a few civilians. The government had been blaming the US for breach of its sovereignty.
Bashir says the attacks don’t do any good, and only increase the number of US enemies. Many people know relatives of drone victims, he says."
