Was it an American missile that blasted into a village deep inside Pakistani territory yesterday? It’s looking more and more like it was. It would be the first time the U.S. has fired a missile beyond the tribal territories bordering Afghanistan. Six alleged militants were killed including a senior al Qaeda leader named Abdullah Azzam al Saudi. He was the liaison between al Qaeda and the Taliban, and was involved with al Qaeda’s external operations.
