11 June 2010: A U.S. drone strike targeted multiple houses in the Mizar Madakhel area of North Waziristan. It was reported that the drones had struck ‘suspected militants’. Later confirmation by the Taifatul Mansura, a militant group, acknowledged that three of their fighters had perished in this attack, whose names were Sheikh Ihsanullah Abu Ibrahim and Haroon (Turkish origin).
