Two killed as IDPs clash in Bannu
[NATION.PK] At least two internally displaced persons were killed and ten got maimed after soldiers fired at them, an official said today.
The incident on Sunday evening comes a year after the army began a major offensive in North Wazoo to wipe out holy warrior strongholds, which it has hailed as a resounding success.
According to a security bigshot who declined to be named, a clash broke out when a boy was asked to register as he left a camp in Bannu, a major centre for people forced from their homes by the fighting.
"When his father came, during the process of registration, there was exchange of harsh words and a brawl between security officials and the man," the official said.
Two IDPs were rubbed out in the ensuing clash.
