US officials described the car‘s driver as a „second male combatant“ but according to Pakistani security officials Azam was a driver who worked for the Al Habib rental company in Quetta, the region‘s main city.

„US officials whose name I do not know accepted the responsibility in media for this incident, so I want justice and request legal action against those responsible for it,“ Mohammad Qasim, Azam‘s brother said in a police report seen by the AFP news agency.

„My brother was innocent and he was a very poor man who has left behind four small children and he was the lone bread earner in the family,“ he added.
