Four civilians, one woman and three children, were wounded by a US drone strike in Ganki Khel, south Waziristan, locals told international media, though the strike, according to the US, did not result in civilian harm.
A secret US document identifies a previously unknown (and failed) attack in Ganki Khel, south Waziristan:
“A Predator attempted to target an Al Qaeda-associated meeting but missed target. It did not cause collateral damage.”
However, the missile reportedly hit the house of Sardali Khan wounding a woman, two boys and a girl, as reported by Daily Times:
“The US missile struck the backyard of the house of Sardali Khan in the Ganghikhel area, wounding four members of his family. “It was fired from a drone,” local resident Hafeez Khan told Daily Times. He said that the missile injured a woman, two boys and a minor girl.”
