The Bureau is publishing the names of over 550 people who are reported to have died in CIA drone strikes in Pakistan, with the launch of its Naming the Dead database.
For many of these individuals, nothing more has been reported but a name. But a few, more is known.
We have drawn on sources including media reports, studies by NGOs, court documents, leaked diplomatic cables, sanctions and ‘most wanted’ lists, jihadist biographies and the Bureau’s own field investigations to assemble case studies on about 20 individuals killed by CIA drones.
These include individuals who are reported to be militants, those who are described as civilians, and those whose status remains unclear. There are Pakistanis and people from all over the world. In alphabetical order, they are:

The Bureau will be publishing further case studies as the project progresses. Look for the ‘Case study’ button next to an individual’s name.
