Festivities resume in Waziristan
2007-10-13
MIRANSHAH: Clashes between security forces and local Taliban resumed in North Waziristan a day after the army allowed tribesmen to bury their loved ones. Political authorities said the Taliban, equipped with automatic weapons, launched attacks and fired rockets at Amin, Banda and Gora graveyard security checkposts on Thursday night in Miranshah, BBC reported. Security forces retaliated and fired artillery shells, however, no loss of life was reported from either side.

Also, two security personnel were wounded when their vehicle coming from Bannu to Miranshah hit a landmine in Baka Khail. They were shifted to Bannu Hospital where they are now stable, hospital sources said. Meanwhile, Taliban spokesman Ahmedullah Ahmadi said that according to the decision of the Taliban Shoora, they were not ready for a permanent ceasefire in North Waziristan.
