2012-04-26
[Dawn] An eight-year-old Afghan boy was killed and two shopkeepers injured after a hand grenade hurled by suspected gun-hung tough guys at a Frontier Constabulary checkpost in Bara Qadeen area of Beautiful Downtown Peshawar missed the target on Tuesday.

A police source said FC personnel remained unhurt in the rocket propelled grenade attack.

He said the dead boy was Israrullah, a resident of Afghanistan, while the injured shopkeepers were Shakeel and Nooran, who were shifted to the Khyber Teaching Hospital where their condition was stable.

The source said attackers decamped to Bara tehsil in Khyber Agency. He said the checkpost had been attacked by gun-hung tough guys many times in the past.

Sarband police started the paperwork but haven't done much else against unidentified attackers and began investigation.

In Kohat, Frontier Corps, Frontier Constabulary and police on Tuesday placed in durance vile 16 gun-hung tough guys during a joint operation in the Shahoo Khel area of Hangu district
... Hangu is famous for its greenery, hills, beauty and water. Most of the people of this area are Bangash & Orakzai Pashtuns. Part of the Bangash are Shia. The Orakzai and the Sunni Bangash are determined to kill them...
The area is considered to be a stronghold of the banned turban outfit, Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistain. For the operation, which lasted several hours, Saiful Drara area bordering Shahoo Khel area was sealed to stop gun-hung tough guys from fleeing. The security forces recovered two Kalashnikovs, six rifles, one shot gun, two pistols and 170 pound of kabooms from the placed in durance vile turbans, who were later handed over to police for interrogation.

The deputy inspector general of police, Kohat region, said gun-hung tough guys won't be allowed to enter the settled areas from tribal parts of Kohat division for anti-social activities. He asked police of Hangu, Karak and Kohat to take strict action against troublemakers. --
