Two soldiers killed in Taliban ambush
2012-05-30
[Dawn] Two soldiers were killed and several injured in a Taliban ambush in Kot Langarkhel area of South Wazoo Agency on Monday morning, according to local political administration and intelligence officials.

However,
a poor excuse is better than no excuse at all...
a Taliban beturbanned goon put the toll at five.

Khadim, a close associate of local Taliban capo Shamim Mehsud, told Dawn that Islamic fascisti attacked a group of 10 security personnel as they were fetching water on mules and donkeys from a well in Kot Langar village of Ladha subdivision.

He claimed that five personnel were killed, three injured and two fled.

The beturbanned goon also reported the death of a mule and a donkey in the ambush.

In Tank, police claimed to have repulsed a beturbanned goon attack on Mullazai cop shoppe early on Monday.

According to police, a group of 80 to 90 Islamic fascisti holding heavy weapons attacked the cop shoppe.

Policemen fought against attackers for over one hour forcing the latter to flee. Later, security personnel also showed up.

They jointly cordoned off the area and began search operation.

During the search, a roadside improvised bomb went kaboom! after a police van hit it. The kaboom injured coppers Samiullah, Fayyaz, and Bashir, who were taken to the District Headquarters Hospital, Tank.

Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistain later claimed the credit for the attack.

According to a front man for TTP, Ihsanullah Ihsan, told news hounds from Qazi's guesthouse an undisclosed location that Taliban would continue fighting the government until Shariah was enforced in the country.

He also grabbed credit for Nowshera attack on a security forces' convoy and said security forces were his group's main target and such attacks would continue.

In 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, Islamic fascisti on Monday blew up a government boy's primary school in Qayumabad Lakaro area of Safi tehsil.
However,
we can't all be heroes. Somebody has to sit on the curb and applaud when they go by...
no loss of life was reported.

Local officials said the building was completely destroyed by bombs used in the act of terrorism. The kaboom was so loud that it shattered windowpanes of nearby houses.

An official of the local political administration confirmed the kaboom and said as the area was remote and the blast took place at night, assessment of the damage had yet to be done.

Over the last few months, 95 schools, dozens of health centres and a few telephone exchanges have been targeted by Islamic fascisti in Mohmand Agency.

In Safi tehsil alone, more than 45 schools have been blown up leaving more than 25,000 children without education. People, especially those living in the far-flung areas of the agency, have also complained of poor health facilities, especially after the destruction of these centres.
