- On November 16, 2001 American intelligence analysts received a tip that Abib Sarajuddin had hosted a fleeing senior Taliban leader, overnight, and, in retaliation they bombed his house, killing his wife and many other family members.
- In January 2002 American forces finally traveled to Zaku Khel, to check out the tip they received, that triggered the retaliatory strike on Sarajuddin's home.
- One of the allegations against Abib Sarajuddin, and his fellow villagers, was that he received a large welfare payment, to compensate him for the loss of his family members, and his house. American intelligence officers assert that the payment came from Pacha Khan Zadran.
- Abib Sarajuddin, and his fellow villagers were captured almost a year prior to the rocket attack on Firebase Salerno, and a year prior to American forces classifiying Pacha Khan Zadran as a renegade.
