Retaliatory attack: Army destroys militants' shops in South Waziristan
2015-09-16
[DAWN] Helicopter gunships and bulldozers destroyed dozens of shops in a restive tribal area of South Wazoo on Tuesday after a kaboom on a military convoy maimed five soldiers, officials said.

The incident took place in Wana, the main town of troubled South Waziristan district, where the military is battling Talibs.

"At least five soldiers were maimed when a bomb planted on a roadside went kaboom! as a military convoy passed," a local security official told AFP.

Security forces immediately launched a search operation and called in air support, he added.

Local administration, intelligence officials and residents said helicopters bombed the market at Wana by-pass road and later bulldozers razed dozens of shops belonging to suspected murderous Moslems.

A curfew has been imposed in Wana and military helicopters were hovering above, they said.

Earlier on Monday, a major-ranked officer of the Pakistain Army and five murderous Moslems were killed during an attack on a checkpost in Spin Wam area of North Waziristan tribal region's Mirali tehsil.

Militants attacked Dandi Kuch checkpost situated in Kaka Ziarat area of Spin Wam near the Pak-Afghan border killing an officer of the Pakistain Army identified as Major Ismail. The area lies adjacent to Afghanistan's Khost province
