(Previous Incident Code: Ob197 )

A “white car” was destroyed killed four people in Ghoroski, north Waziristan, local and internatonal media reported.

The four fatalities, reported as either “militants”, or as “people” by one source, were said to be from South Waziristan.

The News reported on the gruesome aftermath: “The four men seated in the white car were killed on the spot and their bodies mutilated beyond recognition. The villagers said bodies of the slain men were scattered all over the place. Rescuers collected pieces of flesh and bones that were stuffed in bags and taken for burial.”

An internal record of drone strikes compiled by the local political administration was published by the Bureau of Investigative Journalism in 2014. It said no people were killed in this attack however the entry for this strike said “no details available yet.”

Because Dawn did not describe the fatalties as militants, the four killed will, as of now, be considered as possible being civilians.
