 Fifteen civilians were hurt when a hand grenade thrown at an army convoy in Pakistan's North Waziristan tribal area missed its target, officials said. | I'd say they throw like girls, but that's unfair to girls. |
The grenade was thrown at a convoy travelling to a garrison at Bannu, near the main town of Miran Shah. Government official Mohammed Jamil said at least two of the injured were in serious condition. The grenade reportedly landed on a private vehicle. The attacker escaped, officials said. Attacks on troops in the region are fairly common. On Wednesday, five rockets landed close to an air base at Miran Shah but no one was hurt. |
