DEATH FROM ABOVE

Pakistan has been credited with the bagging of a top al Qaeda commander but it could be the guy was sent to Hell by a Hellfire:

Pakistan says that it has killed a top al-Qaeda commander in the country's tribal belt along the Afghan border.

Egyptian-born Abu Hamza Rabia, described as al-Qaeda's operational commander, was among five men killed in a raid in North Waziristan on Thursday.

A Pakistani newspaper quotes local residents as saying they were killed in a missile attack on their house.

Pakistan's Information Minister Sheikh Rashid has since confirmed the report.

"I confirm that Abu Hamza Rabia, the Egyptian, has been killed," he is quoted as saying by Reuters.

According to the report in Dawn, officials said the five militants were killed when an explosion destroyed their house.

But the newspaper said local tribal residents said the house was destroyed after missiles were fired from an unmanned "air vehicle" or drone.

It must be a really creepy feeling knowing that anytime, anywhere, death can visit from above.
