Two drones killed four to six people, including as many as three militants and three civilians, in US led airstrikes on Darazinda

The first drone killed two or three alleged militants on a motorbike – all locals according to a secret Pakistani record of strikes published by the Bureau in January 2014.

Drones then reportedly killed two or three others retrieving the bodies with reports varying on whether the rescuers were militants or civilians.

AFP reported a security official, for example, as saying, “The drone fired one missile on two terrorists riding on a motorbike and when two of their colleagues rushed towards them, two more missiles were fired.”

The Bureau’s own field researchers could not confirm whether any rescuers had been killed in the attack, or their status.
