Rockets fired at Chinese-funded dam in Waziristan
 Suspected militants carried out a rocket attack on Chinese-funded dam in South Waziristan tribal agency of Pakistan, bordering Afghanistan, but there were no human or major material loss reported, said security sources Thursday. Militants fired at least ten rockets at Gomal zam Dam in South Waziristan tribal agency of North-West Frontier Province (NWFP) on Wednesday night, said sources. They said rockets landed in nearby abandoned fields, causing no human or property loss. Two years back, Islamic militants kidnapped two Chinese engineers, working on the Dam. One was killed and the other rescued alive by a commando team of the military. Due to the security concerns China has halted construction of the dam. Posted by: Seafarious 2006-02-03 |
