Up to six people were killed and two injured in an alleged US led attack on two cars, local media reported. Although most reported the dead as militants, a subsequent report from Dawn claimed that all the dead were civilians and that the intended target had left the area.

A source reported that “The car was parked near the house of Akbar Din, a tribesman, in Qutab Khel area of North Waziristan. Sources said those killed and injured were local people. They said that a suspected car had passed through the area before the attack.”
