What Happened?
19 September 2010: A U.S. drone strike destroyed two cars in the Eidal Khel Daur village in Tehsil Datta Khel. The attacks happened after 1900 hours. There is significant contradiction in media reports as some claim that 4 or 5 civilians were in the first car, while other media reports allege that the first car had Haqqani Network militants.
A second car was destroyed minutes later that was confirmed to have five local welfare workers on-board. All of them were killed.
Given the lack of victim identification and independent inquiry, this drone strike is considered undocumented.
