What Happened?
06 December 2010: A U.S. drone strike destroyed a car as it passed through the Khushali Tori Khel village in Mirali. This attack is reported to have happened at around 1840 hours. CNN and other media outlets reported that two suspected militants were killed, while one escaped on foot into a nearby shop.
The shop was subsequently destroyed in a double-tap missile, making it likely that the drone attack killed multiple civilians including the shopkeeper. Later reports from the CIA claimed that all of casualties were militants.
This was the first of two U.S. drone strikes on Mirali on this day.
