| The usual suspects. Capone's watching in from his seat next to Himmler by the fire and saying "Damn, those boyz are good!" [Dawn] Gunmen rubbed out two Pak coppers on Monday, the second double shooting of coppers in two days, police said. Taseer Khan, 30, and Derwaish Khan, 43, who were brothers, were ambushed as they were driving to work on a cycle of violence in the Charsadda district of northwestern Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa ... formerly NWFP, still Terrorism Central... province, police said. They died instantly. "They had no personal enmity. Both brothers were in uniform and were coming on duty. They keeled over dead," Nisar Khan Marwat, Charsadda district police chief, told AFP. The officer said the attackers decamped the scene after the ambush. Gunmen similarly killed two coppers on Saturday in Hayatabad, on the outskirts of Beautiful Downtown Peshawar and next to Khyber district, part of Pakistain's tribal belt. Pak intelligence officials blamed the attack on the Taliban. Security has been stepped up across Pakistain and in the country's northwest in particular, to prevent attacks marring Muharram, the first month of the new Islamic year. |
