Militants attack dam, kill labourers in Pakistan
[Bangla Daily Star] Militants attacked an irrigation dam under construction in northwest Pakistain killing three workers and kidnapping at least two others, officials said on Wednesday.
Around a dozen gunnies attacked the Ghallanai dam site in Mohmand tribal district overnight.
Mohmand is one of the seven semi-autonomous tribal districts along the Afghan border -- an area that is rife with Taliban and Al-Qaeda-linked bad boys.
The attackers planted an improvised bomb on the road leading to the dam, which hit a vehicle carrying labourers, killing at least three people.
