Soldier killed, hotel torched in Waziristan
2011-10-06
[Dawn] A soldier was killed when a missile hit a security checkpost in Tiarza tehsil of South Wazoo on Tuesday while in North Waziristan unidentified gunnies torched a roadside hotel near Kajori area.

Sources said that the missile, one of three fired by suspected snuffies from an unknown location, hit the checkpost in Mazaki area of Tiarza tehsil, killing the soldier Azizullah.

In the other incident, masked men set ablaze a roadside hotel near Gomal Zam Project site. Sources said that a group of snuffies stormed Pakistain Hotel near Kajori. They tied the hands of hotel owner, Botal Khan Wazir Zalikhel, and set his hotel on fire.

Common passengers and army personnel used to stay briefly at the hotel. The road has recently been carpeted by security forces as most of the link roads in the area have been left incomplete owing to dispute between Mehsud and Wazir tribes. Almost all vehicles ply on this road nowadays to reach Wana and other areas of Waziristan tribal region.
