| MIRANSHAH: Two army convoys were attacked on Tuesday with improvised explosive devices (IEDs) in North Waziristan and Bannu, while four people were killed and several injured in an inter-tribe feud over 2,000 kanals of land near Miranshah, officials and tribal elders said. “There was no loss of life or damage to vehicles in the two attacks,” security officials told Daily Times. They said that the military was adopting new methods to avoid collateral damage in the wake of such attacks. The first IED attack took place near Thall Bridge, while the second attack targeted a military convoy heading towards Bannu. Online adds: Unidentified militants targeted an FC Fort on the Jandola-Tank Road in Manzai, South Waziristan, with rockets and automatic weapons, while the Tank-Jandola Highway was closed following reports that militants had planted a landmine in Manzai. |
