Woman killed, two hurt in Bara shelling
2012-10-01
[Dawn] A woman was killed and two others received injuries when two mortar shells hit a residential area in Bara tehsil of Khyber Agency on Saturday.

Sources said that wife of Brekh Mohammad was killed on the spot when a mortar shell fired from an unknown direction hit his house in Yousaf Talab area of Sipah in Bara.

In a similar incident in the same vicinity, wife of Said Karim and daughter of Haji Mohammad were critically injured when a mortar shell fell on the house of Mr Karim.

The injured were shifted to a hospital in Beautiful Downtown Peshawar
...capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (formerly known as the North-West Frontier Province), administrative and economic hub for the Federally Administered Tribal Areas of Pakistan. Peshawar is situated near the eastern end of the Khyber Pass, convenient to the Pak-Afghan border. Peshawar has evolved into one of Pakistan's most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities, which means lots of gunfire.
as most of the health centres in Bara have been closed since the launch of military operation in the area in September 2009.

In Kohat district, unidentified forces of Evil made a failed attempt
Curses! Foiled again!
to target a patrolling party of police in Shadikhel area on Saturday.

The officials of Bomb Disposal Squad said that forces of Evil had planted a time device weighing five kilograms along the road near Algada area in the limits of Shadikhel checkpost. At the time of the blast, the post in-charge, Anwar Shah, and six constables were patrolling the area in a vehicle.

Police said that as soon as the vehicle approached the area the bomb went kaboom! but nobody was hurt in the blast.

However,
there's more than one way to stuff a chicken...
the vehicle was partially damaged in the kaboom.

Police cordoned of the whole area and launched a search operation after the incident but didn't arrest anyone. Police started the paperwork but haven't done much else against unidentified terrorists.
