An attack with five drones destroyed two houses and two cars. Up to fifteen people were killed, including ‘foreigners’  (reportedly six Al Qaeda and nine Haqqani Network supporters). These included  ‘well known al Qaeda commanders’ Abdullah Said al Libi and Zuhaib al-Zahibi. There were some claims that the ultimate, unsuccessful target was Osama bin Laden’s brother in law Sheikh Saeed al Saudi. But rescuers were also targeted in the attack.

According to the Bureau’s Waziristan researchers two Taliban first-responders died along with six civilians, named as ‘Bashirullah, Amir Khan, Shairullah, Abidullah and Fazle Rabbi. All belonged to the Dawar tribe. The name of the 6th person who was killed couldn’t be confirmed.’
