In a double strike, US drone reportedly struck the town of Mizar Madakhel in north Waziristan twice on March 10. The first strike is described below while the other one is detailed in Ob76.

The first strike, consisted of four missiles striking a vehicle and a compound which both were used by suspected militants, several media reported.

Dawn cited sources saying that that the residential compound belonged to Hafiz Gul Bahadur who reportedly is closely linked with the Haqqani network.

Between seven and eight alleged militants were killed in the strike.

The News cited locals who said that the bodies of the killed could not be recognised, while a local security official claimed that those killed in the first attack were foreigners, an often-used term to describe foreign al-Qaeda members.

Moreover, between five and 12 injured “people” were left wounded. Because their status is unspecified, they could possibly be civilians, all will thus be registered as so.

it was reported by both local and international media. All known sources said that a US drone carried out the strike.
