‘Al Qaeda school’ attack: 80 dead
Straight from CNN.com: “Pakistani troops backed by missile-firing helicopters on Monday launched their deadliest attack ever against suspected militants, killing 80 and destroying a purported al Qaeda-linked training facility, the military said.If correct, the death toll in the remote tribal-dominated Bajur district, close to the Afghan border, would be the highest ever for any single military operation targeting suspected Islamic militants in Pakistan.”
Sony Misses PS3 Shipping Targets – Japan gets even fewer units.
Straight from IGN: “What’s worse than 100,000 units at launch? How about 80,000? The Nikkei Keizai Shimbun morning edition reports today that due to component shortages, Sony will have only 80,000 units ready for the PS3’s 11/11 Japanese launch. This cuts back by a fifth the initial launch target of 100,000.”
