| MIRANSHAH: Three local tribesmen and a Frontier Constabulary (FC) jawan were killed in a shootout on Sunday after the tribesmen refused to surrender their weapons at the Cemetery Army Checkpost, close to Miranshah in North Waziristan Agency. The incident occurred at around 10:00am when FC jawans searched a passenger van coming from Mirali to Miranshah. The jawans asked the passengers to surrender their weapons to them, but the tribesmen refused and an angry argument was followed by firing. One FC jawan was killed and one injured when the passengers opened fire. The FC jawans returned fire and shot dead three passengers and injured three others. Soon after the incident, helicopter gunships hovered over the area and shopkeepers closed their stores in Miranshah Bazaar. |
