(Previous Incident Code: Ob76 )

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 in Ob75 while the second one is detailed below.

In the second strike, three missiles struck two vehicles, killing up to seven people, including four civilians, local and international media reported.

Following the strike described in Ob75, this strike killed between four and seven people – reportedly initially as either villagers or militants, who were using vehicles to pull the dead and injured from the ruins. The Bureau of Investigative Journalism’s researchers in Waziristan reported that two Taliban rescuers died alongside four villagers, who they named as Gulzar, Shamim, Majan and Sarwar.

al-Jazeera, meanwhile, reported that four “rebels” were killed.

“Several” unspecified people were also wounded by the strike, media reported.

A tribal elder told The News that “other people who had gathered there to help the victims of the drone attack returned to their homes in Ziarat village for fear of more attacks as the drones were still flying over the area.”

All know sources said that the strike was carried out by a US drone.
