Eight killed in S Waziristan
 Masked gunmen have killed eight tribesmen, including seven of a family, in two separate incidents in South Waziristan, administration officials and eyewitnesses said on Thursday. Seven men of the Karikhel sub-tribe were shot dead a few metres from a paramilitary force base in Wana, eyewitnesses said. Seventy-year-old Abdullah Jan along with three sons and three grandsons were killed when attackers from another vehicle shot at their car at 7:30am in Wana Bazaar.Jan's son Musa, who was among the dead, allegedly used to be a bandit. Tribal sources said that Musa was on the Taliban "hit list" and his killing was not a surprise. Local Taliban killed scores of bandits in North Waziristan last month. In Ladah's Karama area, assailants killed a tribesman as he left home Wednesday evening, residents said. Posted by: Fred 2006-01-06 |
