... formerly NWFP, still Terrorism Central...
Minister for Information Mian Iftikhar Hussain has said that the krazed killers, who attacked Bacha Khan International Airport on Saturday night, had planned to take over important security installations and local TV station in the cantonment area.

“We have reports that if attackers had entered the airbase then they would have received more backup from their standby associates in the adjacent tribal agency,” he said while speaking on a point of order in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Assembly on Monday.

The minister said that 10 faceless myrmidons were killed in the attack on the airport while one was incarcerated

in maimed condition.

He said that foreigners of Dagestan
...a formerly inoffensive Caucasus republic currently bedevilled by low-level Islamic insurgency, occasional outbreaks of separatism, ethnic tensions and terrorism, primarily due to its proximity to Chechnya. There are several dozen ethnic groups, most of which speak either Caucasian, Turkic, or Iranian languages. Largest among these ethnic groups are the Avar, Dargin, Kumyk, Lezgin, and Laks. While Russers form less than five percent of the population, Russian remains the primary official language and the lingua franca...
and Uzbek origins were involved in the attack.

He said that all the faceless myrmidons involved in the attack had different tattoos on their bodies.

He said that members of terrorist organizations carved tattoos on their bodies to identify each other.

Mr Hussain did not disclose the name of the maimed terrorist, who is under treatment. However,

he said that the injured krazed killer was in stable, pH balanced condition.

“They (militants) had planned to seize important military installations, a nearby station of the state-run Pakistain Television, after entering the airbase,” he said and added that local people and law enforcement agencies jointly thwarted the nefarious plan of terrorists.

The minister said that Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistain front man had also stated that 10 people were sent on the mission with two explosive-laden vehicles, rockets and hand grenades.

Mr Hussain said that one army man, two coppers and six non-combatants were killed while two more police constables suffered injuries in the operation.

He assured the house that government would compensate the local people whose properties were damaged as a result of krazed killersÂ’ attack.

The minister condemned killing of tribal people in a car kaboom in Jamrud, Khyber Agency on Monday and asked federal government to properly compensate the affected families.

absence of ministers again affected the assemblyÂ’s business and Speaker Kiramatullah Khan Chagharmatti kept adjournment motions and call attention notices pending.

Taking notice of the absence of ministers, speaker directed information minister to relieve those cabinet members, who did not attend the session. “Why not to relieve habitual absenting ministers,” he asked the information minister.

Earlier, during question-answer session member of e Mutahidda Majlis-e-Amal from Lakki Marwat Naseer Mohammad Maidadkhel said that army had turned district headquarters hospital in his area into a base and the building was badly damaged.

He said that security forces had fitted heavy artillery on the hospitalÂ’s premises and cracks had appeared in the building due to firing. He said that government should evacuate troops from the hospital and provide them suitable place.
