Victims: 3 Killed, 3 Injured
What Happened?
03 November 2011: A U.S. drone strike destroyed a house in the Serai Darpa Khel area of Miranshah Tehsil. This attack reportedly occurred at around 1430 hours. Local media sources quoted anonymous security officials claiming that a key Haqqani Network commander, Janbaz Zadran, was killed.
However, Janbaz Zadran’s death was also claimed in an earlier attack in Danda Darpa Khel on 13 October. Moreover, data published years later by FATA officials in Peshawar alleges that no one was killed in this attack and that three people were left injured.
Given the contradictions, this is an undocumented attack as the identities of the victims are not yet known.
