| Three policemen were killed on Wednesday when a group of heavily-armed Taliban attacked a checkpost in the outskirts of Peshawar, a senior police official said. "A group of around 20 Taliban, armed with rockets, hand grenades and assault rifles, attacked Arbab Tapo checkpost. Three policemen were killed in the attack," Abdul Ghafoor Afridi, a senior police official in Peshawar, told AFP. The attackers escaped after a gunbattle, he added. The military is fighting a nearly two-month-long campaign to dislodge Taliban from the NWFP, and have said it would open up a second front in South Waziristan Agency as well. |
