Between 16 and 18 alleged militants linked to local Taliban leader Maulana Halimullah were killed in an alleged US led attack by two drones on a housing compound, local media reported.
Some ‘foreign fighters’ may have been among the dead, according to local media reports.
Despite this, in January 2014 the Bureau published an internal Pakistani government record of CIA drones strikes. It listed 16 ‘locals’ killed in this attack.
