An American drone attack in Datta Khel, Pakistan killed 44 people, including 13 children, on March 17, 2011.
One of the elders, Malik Faridullah Wazir Khan told the BBC that “the area was completely covered in blood. There were no bodies, only body parts – hands, legs and eyes scattered around. People carried away the body parts in shopping bags and clothing or with bits of wood, whatever they could find.”
“We are a people who wait 100 years to exact revenge. We never forgive our enemy.”
“We announce a jihad against the US and her allies sitting in our country,” said Malik Jalal Sarhadi Qat Khel, another tribal leader. “We will avenge our tribesmen at any cost, even if it takes a hundred years.”
