After a pause in bombing of almost a month, up to five militants, reported as Pakistani and ‘foreign’, were reported killed in an alleged US led strike on a double-cabin truck, according to the Taliban.
Two other vehicles were reportedly damaged in the strike.
However internal records collected by the FATA administration reported a civilian pick-up was targeted in this attack and three people were killed.
Two alleged ‘US spies’, named as Sher Nawab and Anwar Khan, were later killed by the TTP in apparent retaliation for attacks in the area.
