| A remote-controlled roadside bomb destroyed a government vehicle on Monday, but the three South Waziristan administration officials inside were not hurt, District Police Officer Dar Ali Khattak told reporters. Mohammed Wisal Khan, his driver and two bodyguards escaped unharmed in the attack in Himat, a village near Dera Ismail Khan, Khattak said. The officials, including the Wana tehsildar, were looking for Ahmedzai Wazir tribesmen against whom the administration launched a crackdown following the killing of two paramilitary soldiers in Wana. |
