(a madrasah/madrassa is a school btw)

23 January 2009: In the first attacks since Barack Obama became U.S. president, at least 14 killed in Waziristan in 2 separate attacks by 5 missiles fired from drones.[49] According to the London Sunday Times, 19 people, all civilians, were killed, including four children.

31 October 2011: Three people including two boys, Tariq Aziz and his 12-year-old cousin Waheed Khan were killed in a US drone strike in the Miranshah area North Waziristan. Prior to his killing, 16-year-old Tariq Aziz had helped the Bureau of Investigative Journalism document civilian casualties caused by drone strikes. Human rights lawyer Clive Stafford Smith said: "I met this lad Tariq last week, and he was no more a terrorist than my mother."

very few examples, there are many more.
