Three masked men with assault rifles shot dead a tribal elder in North Waziristan before fleeing, an intelligence official said on Thursday. Malik Sahkhi Marjan, 45, was killed instantly in the assault on Wednesday at a friend's pharmacy store in a bazaar in Alwara Mandi, a small market town near North Waziristan, the official said. No one claimed responsibility, but the official suspected militants carried out the attack.
