Militant Confirmed Killed in North Waziristan Airstrike

U.S. officials in Pakistan have confirmed that Al Qaeda terrorist Muhsin Musa Matwalli Atwah was killed in an airstrike in North Waziristan in April 2006.

My question now, if the United States can confirm it uses airstrikes to tackle Al Qaeda militants in Pakistan, is as follows.

Will the United States confirm that Hayat Ullah Khan, a Pakistani reporter trained and hired by PBS's Frontline was captured and killed by its Pakistani allies after revealing to the world that a U.S. hellfire missile struck a North Waziristan Al Qaeda hideout in December 2005?

Can Pakistan admit that it allows American drones to monitor Pakistani tribal agencies? Or will it have to kill those who reveal that truth?

What an ally we have in Pakistan.
