What Happened?
02 August 2011: A U.S. drone strike destroyed a car in the Qutab Khel area of Miranshah. This attack occurred at around 2025 hours. Media reports on this attack are scarce and it is reported that four suspected militants were killed.
Data published years later by FATA officials alleges that a Pakistan state car was targeted, and that all those killed were Uzbeks.
This was the second U.S. drone strike in FATA following the resignation of an unnamed CIA Station Chief in Islamabad, after the CIA had a tense disagreement with DG-ISI Lt. Gen. Shuja Pasha.
