| A policemen was killed and three wounded when a police vehicle was ambushed by gunmen in Bannu district on Sunday night, while the wana political administration halted all privileges of the Michi Kheel tribe after the death of two Mehsud elders. Police official Asmatullah told Daily Times that unknown gunmen attacked the vehicle at around 2.30am on Bannu-Lakki Road. “Constable Suleman Shah died, and three received injuries,” he said. Bannu DPO Dar Ali Khattak said it was premature to say anything about the incident. Agencies add: Witnesses said the attackers appeared to be pro-Taliban militants. A senior official in Islamabad said the latest attack and the murder of three Chinese appeared to be retaliation for the ongoing security operation against Lal Masjid. Meanwhile, the political administration in Wana on Monday halted all privileges to the Michi Kheel tribe following the killing of two tribal elders on Saturday and Sunday. |
