What Happened?
14 June 2009: A U.S. drone missile targeted a pickup truck in the village of Murdar Algad in the Ladha area of South Waziristan. The CIA alleged that it had targeted a truck carrying militants and fighters, and possibly hitting other nearby vehicles.
However, an internal document later published by the FATA Secretariat alleged that the attack had targeted a civilian truck and that all those killed were innocents. There is no independent confirmation on their identities, making this an undocumented attack.
