What Happened?
20 June 2011: A US drone missile (likely Predator) struck a house in the Qamar Kalle area of Kurram Agency (FATA, Pakistan). Local media reports 5 deaths from this attack; however, there is no confirmation on whether they were militants.
This drone attack is one of the least documented strikes in the region, being geographically misreported by sources to be in Lower Kurram (it is in Central Kurram) and lacking any follow-up.
Two other drone strikes occurred on this day: Zarakai Mela (Kurram Agency) and Khardand (Kurram Agency).
