Two killed in drone strike

Two people were killed in a drone strike in North Waziristan, along the Afghan border, an intelligence official said Sunday. "A drone fired two missiles into a motorbike, killing both riders," the official told dpa on condition of anonymity.

The unmanned aircraft had targeted the motorcycle travelling in Degan, in the Datta Khel district of North Waziristan, the official said.

It is great news that Iraqi oil production has already come this far, but Iraq needs to do a lot more to attract foreign investment.

Obviously Iraq needs to provide adequate security and safety for foreign oil firms and their employees. Perhaps it also needs to offer more lucrative contracts to investors.

Already Japan, Korea and others have announced that they have struck oil deals and increased oil imports from Saudi Arabia, the UAE and maybe others thus perhaps deliberately avoiding Iraq.

So Iraq definitely has probably much more to do to make itself more attractive and appealing to foreign investors.
