(Previous Incident Code: Ob230 )

Linked attacks on a house and car killed up to fifteen alleged militants. Reuters reported a Pakistani intelligence official as saying: ‘The missiles were fired as militants sitting in a vehicle were entering into a house used by them as a hideout. The house is on fire.’ Five students described as having ‘militant links’ were killed in either this or Ob229 (above).

The Asian Tribune reported at the time: ‘the first attack was followed by another when people started fleeing the compound.’ As part of its investigation into the CIA’s deliberate targeting of rescuers, the Bureau’s own researchers report that drones returned to attack rescuers on this occasion, killing four unnamed Taliban and four civilians they identified as Shabbir, Kalam, Waqas and Bashir.
