7 soldiers injured in grenade attack
Seven soldiers were injured when an unidentified man hurled a hand grenade at their convoy in Mir Ali Bazaar in North Waziristan on Friday, security officials said. Someone lobbed a hand grenade when the convoy of several vehicles going to Razmak from Bannu reached Mir Ali Bazaar at 11am, the officials, asking not to be named, told Daily Times, adding that the wounded soldiers had been admitted to a hospital in Bannu where the condition of two soldiers was serious. Witnesses told Daily Times that the soldiers did not retaliate and that no one had seen the person who had thrown the grenade. In a separate incident, masked gunmen shot and killed the driver of the Miranshah tehsildar in an apparent target killing, officials said. The officials, asking not to be named, told Daily Times that driver Asal Mir was washing the tehsildars car when masked car riders opened fire on Mir, killing him instantly. It seems to be a target killing because Mir did not have enmity with anyone, said the officials. Posted by: Fred 2007-05-05 |
