KHAR/WANA: Four paramilitary soldiers were among seven killed in two suicide attacks in Bajaur and Tank on Saturday. The attack at a checkpost in the Mamoond area killed four paramilitary personnel and injured six others. Local residents said that a civilian was killed when the security forces opened fire after the attack. No group has claimed responsibility for the attack, but telephone calls to local journalists in Khar asked them to report the attack as a “fidayee hamla”. Meanwhile, a jirga has asked local clerics to resolve the standoff between the militants and the government. In Tank, six troops were injured when a suicide bomber targeted a checkpost in Jandola area. |
