    The attack referred to above is now being openly referred to as a US drone strike:

    http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Southea.../NB29Ae01.html

    These are in no way impartial sources and the reports are definitely agenda-driven. They will be widely believed. They are also not entirely unbelievable: as I mentioned above, the official account of the operation does not seem at all consistent with the observed capacities of the PAF.

    It's unlikely that there will be any official word on the subject, so speculation is all there is.
