At least four and as many as six people were killed, suspected militants according to some, and “scores” were injured when a car in Maizer, Datta Khel, north Waziristan, was destroyed in a fireball, reportedly caused by a US drone, media reported.

Although a number of sources described those killed as alleged militants, both The News and Geo TV stated that they were “local tribesmen,” indicating possible civilian casualties.

This was the second of two reported US drone strikes on November 7th, taking place just an hour the first strike, detailed in Ob157.
