NEW US Drone Attack Kills 8 in Pakistan. Phase 2 of Bin Laden Kill Op


Since the US raid that killed Osama bin Laden, Supposed "Pakistani" authorities have arrested as many as 200 people in Abbottabad, Pakistan on suspicion of having ties.

Today, Abbottabad demonstrators showed anger at the infiltration and attack of their town.


At same time, the US killed 8 in the newest unmanned Drone Attack since Bin Ladens reported death.

The U.S. carried out its first drone attack in Pakistan since Osama bin Laden's death in an American raid this week, killing eight people in a hail of missiles near the Afghan border Friday, Pakistani intelligence officials said.

The strike took place in North Waziristan, an al-Qaida and Taliban stronghold that has been subject to frequent missile attacks.

The U.S. aircraft involved fired eight missiles at a vehicle and a roadside restaurant in the Datta Khel area, according to the Pakistani officials. Eight people were killed in the attack and another four were wounded, they said.

Pakistan Flood Visualizations





The latest estimate of the number of people affected by the Pakistan area floods exceeds 14 million— *more than the combined total of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, the 2005 Kashmir earthquake and the 2010 Haiti earthquake.


The India/Pakistan area currently has the highest precipitable water atmosphere on Earth. That means massive amounts of water are available for the creation of endless rains.


Here is a before and after from Nasa.



I've only found 2 Google Earth overlays. This one (near), and this one (far).

I'm wondering if the unusual lack of imagery products released to the public, has anything to do with controlling evidence of weather modification. Just an intuition. There definitely should be alot more Pakistan flood visualization, by now.

As usual, "Russia Today" come through with some decent footage 8.24.10
