Two missiles fired at the a compound owned by Jehan Roze destroyed a guesthouse and a car parked outside, and killed five including up to three ‘Arabs’. Roze’s son Sadiq Noor, who is described by some as a local teacher but by others as a collaborator with militants, was killed in the strike, along with Noor’s 9-year-old son Wajid.
