What Happened?
29 July 2012: A U.S. drone strike destroyed either a house, truck, or both in the Khushali – Khaisor area in Mirali. This attack reportedly began around 1625 hours. Initial media reports alleged that Uzbek militants had been targeted.
A subsequent report by The News, a local news agency, reported that four local civilians were killed as they parked their car inside their house, destroying both. Data published years later by FATA officials indicates 7 fatalities in this attack, which contradicts press reports.
No independent inquiry was ever made on this drone attack, leaving it undocumented.
