(Previous Incident Code: Ob133 )

Three separate attacks were reported on September 26 2010, all in the North Waziristan region. As many as seven CIA drones were said to be involved in the operation – usually an indication that a ‘High Value Target’ was being pursued. However, no named militants were reported among the 9-12 people killed that day.

In the second raid, a Jeep was destroyed and between three and five people killed, involving up to seven drones.

Though some media described the men as militants, other sources only referred to those killed as ‘people’, with Dawn for example noting, “The identity of those killed could not be ascertained, [our] sources said.”

In January 2014 the Bureau published an internal record of drone strikes compiled by the local administration. It listed four people killed in this attack – two locals and two Arabs.
