Militants fire rockets at paramilitary base
MIRANSHAH: Suspected militants fired rockets at a paramilitary base here at around 9:30am on Thursday, slightly damaging a barrack, but there were no casualties, said security officials. The officials told Daily Times that two rockets were fired at the base inside the heavily fortified Tochi Fort in Miranshah: one hit the barrack that was damaged and the other landed in an open area near a preaching centre. We are investigating who carried out the attack, they said. A spokesman for pro-Taliban militants denied involvement in the attack. The enemies of the peace accord are behind the attack, Abdullah Farhad, a purported spokesman for militants in North Waziristan, told Daily Times.Posted by: Fred 2007-03-09 |
