Two militants killed in North Wazoo
2006-06-19
MIRANSHAH: Security forces on Sunday gunned down two suspected tribal militants and wounded another in response to an attack on their check-post in North Waziristan, security officials said. The men were believed to be local tribesmen from Speenwam area, 25 kilometres north of Mir Ali town, the officials told Daily Times on condition of anonymity. They said that the wounded man was in security force custody and was receiving medical treatment, while the bodies of the dead men had been handed over to the political administration.
"Miranshah's on the line, Dr. Quincy!"
"Again?"
The attack took place at 10:00am when the militants, using light weapons, open-fired on the K-2 check-post, sources said. No casualties had been reported from the security force side. About two hours later, security forces arrested five suspected tribal militants and seized 14 grenades while searching a van in Spin Wam, officials said, adding that the arrested suspects had been handed over to the local administration.
