The New Enemy

Defense Secretary Leon Panetta for the first time this week publicly said that the United States is waging “war” in Pakistan against militants, referring to the covert CIA campaign that the US government declines to discuss.

Two missiles slammed into a compound in Dandey Darpakhel village, about seven kilometres (four miles) north of Miranshah, the main town in North Waziristan tribal district.

“Jamil Haqqani, an important Afghan commander of Haqqani network was the target and was killed,” a Pakistani security official told AFP on condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to talk to the media.

  Raw Story

We're changing the term "leader" that we used every time we claimed to kill some al Qaeda member to "commander" for the Haqqani forces.

....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
