Missile attack on Pakistani post kills 2
2004-07-26
Militants linked to Al Qaeda killed two Pakistani paramilitary soldiers in a remote tribal region close to the Afghan border, officials said on Monday. An official in the Orakzai tribal agency, around 90 km (50 miles) south of the border city of Peshawar, said one of the suspected attackers had been caught, but his foreign accomplice was still hiding. The two men carried out the attack on a security post in the Ghuzdarra area of Orakzai on Sunday afternoon. The Orakzai agency is around 200 km (120 miles) north of South Waziristan, scene of some of the fiercest clashes in recent months between security forces and al-Qaeda linked foreign militants and their allies among the local tribes.
