| Masked gunmen attacked three pro-government tribal elders near the Khwaja Khar checkpost in Bannu’s frontier region here on Friday, sources said. The gunmen suspected to be pro-Taliban militants attacked Malik Nazar Khan, Malik Noor Alam and Malik Noor Sahib Khan, all belonging to Eidak sub-tribe in North Waziristan. The elders were going to Bannu from Mir Ali. The sources said Nazar was injured in the attack. Two weeks ago, unknown assailants blew up a fuel station owned by Nazar near Mir Ali town’s Eidak area. Taliban warn: Also, a pro-Taliban militant leader warned tribal people against smuggling weapons outside North Waziristan, saying that no one would be allowed to smuggle the weapons to other parts of the country. “Taking weapons outside North Waziristan means weakening the Taliban and supporting the United States,” Hafiz Gul Bahadir, leader of Taliban in North Waziristan, said in a pamphlet. |
