"Near a hideout of Beitullah Mehsud" (who is dead already, I know).
Aside, AP is reporting a small amount of refugeeism out of S. Waziristan
recently.

Dawn Media:
DERA ISMAIL KHAN: A suspected US missile strike killed three Taliban
militants in restive northwest Pakistan on Tuesday, intelligence officials
said.
An unmanned US drone targeted a Taliban compound in the South Waziristan
tribal region and killed the insurgents, the two intelligence officials said
on condition of anonymity.
The missile attack occurred in Sararogha village, the base of former
Pakistani Taliban chief Baitullah Mehsud, who was killed in an August 5
strike by an American drone.
The mountainous tribal belt is allegedly used as a militant base for attacks
on American and Nato troops in neighbouring Afghanistan.
Western officials say the area is a stronghold of al-Qaeda's senior
leadership and Osama bin Laden is believed to be hiding there.
Tuesday's strike followed days of unrest, including a spate of suicide
attacks and rocket and mortar exchanges between militants and the Pakistani
army.
