(Previous Incident Code: Ob151 )

The US allegedly carried out two airstrikes in north Waziristan on October 27th; the first in Spinwan, Mir Ali, detailed in Ob150, and 12 hours later; in Deegan, Datta Khel, described in this entry.

The second attack took place in the afternoon.  A drone reportedly fired a missile at a vehicle in the Datta Khel area, leaving the car completely destroyed.

Reports said that between three and four alleged militants were killed, apparently including two “Arabs” and two “Westerners” – possibly linked to the Haqqani Network.

Moreover, “scores” were reported injured, though details about their status were not provided.

All known sources blamed a US drone for the strike.
