2012-08-27
[An Nahar] Mortar bombs smashed through a house in a village in northwestern Pakistain early Saturday, killing six people, security officials said.

The incident took place in Qambarabad village, a suburb of Beautiful Downtown Peshawar close to the Khyber tribal district, where the military is fighting against local warlord Mangal Bagh
...a former bus driver, now head of the Deobandi bandido group Lashkar-e-Islam and the Terror of Khyber Agency...
and his Lashkar-e-Islam (Army of Islam) bad boy faction.

"Militants fired several mortar shells and two of them hit a house in Qambarabad close to Bara town, killing six people and wounding 12 others, all members of a same family," a local security official told Agence La Belle France Presse.

It is not clear whether the house was the bad boys' intended target.

Another security official also confirmed the incident and casualties and said that the mortars were fired from Qazi's guesthouse an undisclosed location.

Khyber is part of Pakistain's semi-autonomous tribal belt on the Afghan border, considered to be the world's premier al-Qaeda hub despite the killing of the late Osama bin Laden

by United States troops last year.
