One soldier killed, six injured during rocket attack in Orakzai
2014-12-06
One soldier was killed and six others were maimed Friday in a rocket attack on Kalaya, the agency headquarters of the restive northwestern Orakzai Agency
... crawling with holy men, home to Darra Adam Khel, the world's largest illegal arms bazaar. 14 distinct tribes of beturbanned primitives inhabit Orakzai agency's 1500 or so square kilometers...

Official sources said that two rockets were fired on the Kalaya Headquarters as a result of which seven soldiers sustained injuries. One of the injured soldiers died on his way to a hospital, while six others are receiving medical treatment.

Last month, 18 suspected bully boyz and six soldiers were killed during a gun-battle in Orakzai Agency. The gun-battle was set off by an attack by bully boyz before dawn, on a check-post in Shireen Dara area of Lower Orakzai.

Orakzai is one of Pakistain's seven semi-autonomous tribal regions in the northwest, where Pak Taliban and Al Qaeda-linked bully boyz are said to have carved out strongholds.

It was a key abode of former Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistain (TTP) chief Hakimullah Mehsud before he was killed in a US drone strike in North Wazoo in 2013.
