(Previous Incident Code: Ob111 )

Two vehicles ‘recently crossed from Afghanistan’ were destroyed in a rare Kurram Agency attack, the first of three that day. Nine suspected Haqqani Network (or alternately TTP) militants were killed and two injured, according to reports at the time of the strike.

The News reported that TTP commander Fazal Saeed was the intended target.

However the Pakistani government recorded only three ‘non-local’ people were killed in the attack. The document said ‘the dead are said to be Afghan nationals.’

The Bureau published the internal Pakistani casualty assessment of the drone strikes in January 2014.
