Pakistan. An American drone strike kills the Taliban’s second-in-command, Wali ur Rehman, along with five other extremists, in the Miranshah area of North Waziristan. Rehman had organized the suicide attack on the CIA’s Chapman base in Khost on December 30, 2009. Seven American agents were killed, including the station’s director, Jennifer Matthews. The attack was carried out by a Jordanian double agent trusted by the Americans (Matthews even had a cake baked in his honor).
