What Happened?
18 October 2010: A U.S. drone strike destroyed a car in the Wacham village in Kazha Madda Khel of Datta Khel Tehsil. The attack happened at around 2200 hours. This was the second attack in this district on this day, with the earlier attack targeting another nearby village just 10 minutes prior.
A document released by FATA officials years later alleged that four people were killed in this attack, all described as ‘locals’. No other independent information is available about this drone strike. This is one of the least documented U.S. drone strikes in Pakistan, because it is only reported in the data aggregated by FATA officials and not by media coverage.
