What Happened?
08 September 2010: A U.S. drone strike destroyed a car in the Degan Amboor Shiga area of North Waziristan. Local news reports suggested that the casualties were all civilians. No independent inquiry has ever been made to learn their identities.
It is possible that this was one of CIA’s numerous ‘signature strikes’ where drone attacks were authorised on mere visual assumptions as opposed to concrete ground intelligence.
