Four, uh, three, uh a couple dead

Depending on which on-line article you read, there are dead in Waziristan after a Predator strike, but the exact number varies:
A suspected U.S. missile strike killed three people late Saturday in a town near the Afghan border, the latest in a series of attacks in a region where top al-Qaida leaders are believed to be living, two intelligence officials said. (Washington Post)
At least three people died in a missile attack on a Pakistani tribal region near the Afghan border, say officials. Unmanned US aircraft are reported to have fired the missiles into the town of Miran Shah in North Waziristan. (BBC)
A missile strike by a suspected US spy drone late Saturday killed four people in a Pakistani tribal area seen as a safe haven for Al-Qaeda and Taliban militants near the Afghan border. "Two missiles struck a compound just outside Miranshah. Four people were killed, but their identities are not known," a security official told AFP on condition of anonymity.
The US has strike inside the North Waziristan tribal agency for the second time in three days. "Two missiles struck a compound just outside Miramshah but we do not have the number of casualties at the moment," an anonymous Pakistan security official told Geo TV. Four people were reported killed in the strike. It is unclear if any senior al-Qaeda or Taliban senior leaders were among those killed.
Rico says it's a bitch, trying to get a good bodycount out of these distant places...
