At least six people were killed, including three alleged “foreigners”, possibly Punjabi militants, according to local media. But according to villagers, the attack on a house – which also damaged a next-door madrassa – only killed civilians.

At a funeral attended by hundreds, local religious scholar Maulana Sheikh Hakim Khan also insisted that those killed were civilians and called on Ban Ki-Moon of the United Nations to stop the CIA’s attacks.

The News reported that Hakim: “Complained that these planes had deprived the innocent tribesmen of their mental peace and badly affected their routine life. [People were] disappointed with their own government, as despite their repeated appeals it had failed to stop the attacks on the civilian areas.”
