| Two security personnel were killed and three injured in a suicide attack on a checkpost near Miranshah on Tuesday, said official sources. A bomber rammed his explosives-laden vehicle into the Dirdony post on Ghulam Khan Road -- some six kilometres from Miranshah -- killing two Khasadars. Those injured are said to be in critical condition. A local Taliban spokesman claimed responsibility for the attack. "We carried out the suicide attack and will continue to target security forces until drone attacks and the military operation against Taliban are stopped," the spokesman told the AFP news agency. Following the attack, Miranshah Bazaar was closed and helicopter gunships could be seen hovering over the area. Troops fired at a vehicle with tinted glasses in Miranshah Bazaar, killing four. |
