Two Khasadar officials killed in Mohmand blast
2012-02-09
[Pak Daily Times] Two Khasadar Force officials were killed and another was injured when an kaboom took place during routine patrolling in the Safi Tehsil of Mohmand
... Named for the Mohmand clan of the Sarban Pahstuns, a truculent, quarrelsome lot. In Pakistain, the Mohmands infest their eponymous Agency, metastasizing as far as the plains of Beautiful Downtown Peshawar, Charsadda, and Mardan. Mohmands are also scattered throughout Pakistan in urban areas including Karachi, Lahore, and Quetta. In Afghanistan they are mainly found in Nangarhar and Kunar...
Agency, officials said. The official sources said that two men who were killed were part of the Khasadar Force who were on routine patrolling in the Alenger area. The injured was shifted to a hospital. The kaboom seemed to be the result of an Improvised Explosive Device (IED). The Safi Tehsil was considered to be the homeland of the Taliban in Mohmand Agency prior to the security forces operation that cleared the area.
Or didn't clear it, as the case may be.
