Although you gotta admit that mimes can be pretty annoying! From Pakistan :
Two people wounded in a suspected U.S. missile strike in Pakistan’s northwest have died, raising the death toll to 24 in an assault that has deeply angered the Taliban, officials said on Sunday.

The intelligence officials, who received their information from informants and agents in the field, said the Taliban appeared to have been particularly angry over the latest strike, a signal that a senior militant may have been killed.
Exit question: Am I the only one who won’t lose any sleep over the Taliban being perturbed at us? I didn’t think so.

Don’t take my word for it. From Roll Call :

An Israeli airstrike in Gaza can destroy buildings…but not a Koran ?
