South Waziristan administrator injured in blast
South Waziristan chief administrator Asmatullah Gandapur on Friday was injured in a roadside bomb explosion a day after a pushtoon leader was killed in Wana, a senior government official told Daily Times. Gandapur and his driver were injured when the vehicle they were riding in passed over explosives planted on the road outside Tank, the official said. He said it was not clear what caused the explosion.
My guess it was Mahmoud pushing the plunger. What's yours?
Security forces often blame Al Qaeda-linked militants for such attacks. "Gandapur is in stable condition, while his driver has critical injuries," said the official who asked not to be named. The administrator was returning to Tank with FATA senators after visiting the site of the Gomal Zam dam project. Chinese engineers stopped work on the project after two of their colleagues were kidnapped and one died as a result of a rescue operation.
