    Eight yr-old Nawar Al-Awlaki died by bleeding to death after being shot. Her grandfather said, “She was hit with a bullet in her neck and suffered for two hours. Why kill children? This is the new US administration - it’s very sad, a big crime.”

    A month after the raid, the US bombed the village again, this time for four consecutive nights with drones and helicopters, killing two more children and several more adults.

    Qureshi and his attorney have sought compensation through the Pakistani tribal liaison, the US embassy and the UN Human Rights Council, but none have been successful. The US has never even acknowledged it was responsible.

    Qureshi acknowledges he will never be a chemist. His best hope, is to open a small business. All his academic hopes will transfer to sponsoring his two brothers’ educational ambitions. He hopes he can afford it: “I don’t know how they can study if I can’t provide for them.”

    “There are so many people like me in Waziristan that I know of who were targeted and killed who had nothing to do with militancy or the Taliban,” Qureshi said, “so many women who have been killed, children who have been killed, but there is still no answer to this."

    Qureshi remembered thinking to himself in his hospital bed during his month-long blindness: “What did I do for which I was punished so badly? What did my family do? Why did it happen to me?”

    Barely a teenager, Qureshi was suddenly an elder male, tasked with providing for his mother, brothers and sisters. Once a promising student who wanted a career in chemistry, he was now forced to scrounge a living. The family never had the money to repair their home.

    Two of Qureshi’s uncles, Mohammed Khalil and Mansoor Rehman, were dead. So was his 21-year-old cousin Aizazur Rehman Qureshi. Fourteen of Qureshi’s cousins were left fatherless.

    Doctors operated on the entire left side of his body, which had sustained burns, and used laser surgery to repair his right eye. They could not save his left. He also suffered a fractured skull and lost hearing in one ear.

    It took nearly 40 days for Qureshi to emerge from a series of hospitals, all of which he spent in darkness. Shrapnel had punctured his stomach & left lacerations over much of his upper body.

    When the strike hit, Qureshi remembers feeling like his body was on fire. He ran outside, wanting to throw water on his face, but the strike had blinded him.

    Obama's first drone strike hit around 5pm on Jan 23, 2009. It was allegedly targeting Taliban militants; however, the missiles hit the family home of 14 year-old Faheem Qureshi, who was with his uncles and neighbors who were chatting, cracking jokes and sipping tea.
