civilians killed and others injured: Khalil
Dawar, father and home owner His
2 sons His
brother A nephew
Just
after 5 P.M.
of January 23, 2009 In
Zyaraki (Zharki)
village, 2 kms west of Mir Ali, North Waziristan. A U.S Predator drone
fired 3
Hellfire missiles into dwellings suspected of harboring militants. The
missiles
hit the Hujra of Haji Khalil Dawar, killing 10 people and injuring
several
others. The owner of the house, Dawar, his two sons, a brother and a
nephew were
among the dead, as were some “foreign militants.” In another attack, a
U.S
drone fired two missiles which hit the home of a pro-government tribal
elder,
Malik Deen Faraz in the Gangikhel area of South Waziristan, killing
him, his
three sons and a grandson. At least four children were killed in the
two U.S.
attacks authorized by newly elected President Obama. The
following
photos depict the aftermath. Pakistan tribesmen stand besides victims’
coffins,
a large gathering of tribesmen attend the funeral of the victims, and
tribesmen
sift through the rubble. Winning hearts and minds?    Killed
and injured
in two attacks by U.S. drones |
