This may have a lot to do with the new Pakistani government's realization that they are not going to be able to negotiate with the fundamenalists.
Up to nine persons were killed and as many injured in a missile strike carried out on Monday by pilotless drones on the headquarters of a religious group in Pakistan's troubled Khyber Agency.
At least three missiles struck the headquarters of Amar Bil Maroof Wa Nahi Aneelmunkar (promotion of virtue and prevention of vice force) at Bara in Khyber Agency, where Pakistani security forces launched a crackdown against militants on Saturday.
The missiles apparently targeted Haji Namdar, the head of the religious group, but he was safe, eyewitnesses told TV channels.
The witnesses said six to nine persons had died and several of Namdar's close relatives were among the dead.
Haji Namdar quoted witnesses as saying that missile attack was carried out by drones operated by the US forces in Afghanistan. The witnesses said they had seen drones flying overhead when the missile strike occurred at about three a.m.

I'm convinced there are a lot of head fakes going on by the U.S. and Pakistani's. Sometimes you need to step back and let the rats think they are safe. If allows them to gather in numbers in a single place. Then let the bombs fly.
