| Ten rockets were fired on an army camp in the North Waziristan tribal region early on Thursday but no injuries were reported, official sources said. The rockets were fired at a camp in the Dukoye area, some 60 kilometres west of Miranshah. Pakistani forces returned fire in the direction from where the rockets originated but there has been no information on casualties. Rocket attacks on army camps have increased in North Waziristan over the past week, after a mysterious explosion at Saidgey village last Friday killed at least two people and injured another two. Locals claimed fighter planes had bombed a house but the military stated that explosives inside the house had caused the blast. Three rockets were fired on a military check post in Miranshah 24 hours after the explosion. Local Taliban had earlier warned that they would reconsider the peace deal with the government if attacks similar to the one on Saidgey continued but the council of elders later stated that they would honour the deal in the national interest. The government and the militants signed a peace deal in Miranshah in September 2006. |
