Soldier hurt in rocket attack on military post near Miranshah
 MIRANSHAH: Suspected pro-Taliban militants directed a rocket barrage at a military post in a northwestern tribal region, wounding one soldier and damaging two vehicles, officials said on Friday. No one claimed responsibility for the attack late on Thursday in Mir Ali, near North Waziristan's main town of Miranshah, and security forces were hunting for the assailants, a security official said. "The miscreants fired 10 rockets, but only one or two hit the military post," the official said on condition of anonymity as he was unauthorised to speak to the media.Also Thursday, security forces and "miscreants" traded fire near Miranshah and two youths "accidentally died when stray bullets hit them," the official said.Posted by: Fred 2006-06-17 |
