2009-08-10
[Dawn] At least nine militants and three peace committee members have been killed in exchange of fire between militants and peace committee members in Mohmand Agency.
As dear JosephM says, "I got nuthin."
Accoding to sources armed militants attacked the house of peace commitee chief Malik Ajmal in Uchajawara village in khaqwezi area of baizai tehsil and killed two peace committee members along with peace committee chief. Ajmal was a pro-government tribal elder who had captured 12 militants and handed them over to security forces last week. The clash erupted between peace committee members and militants resulted in the death of nine militants, according to a DawnNews report.

In a separate incident, two civilians and a policeman were killed when militants ambushed a police convoy in the restive northwestern Bannu town on Sunday. 'Three policemen were on a routine patrol in Meryan village of Bannu when they were attacked by a group of 10 militants,' senior local official Iqbal Marwat told AFP. He said one policeman and two farmers in nearby fields were killed in the incident.
