 A landmine blew up a jeep in the tribal area near the Afghan border on Thursday, killing one person and injuring three others, officials said. The device exploded on a road near Mir Ali Bazaar in the North Waziristan region, leaving a passenger dead and three others hurt, a local administration official told AFP on condition of anonymity. Another mine lying nearby was defused before it could explode, security officials said. It was not clear who planted the landmines. In a separate incident an Afghan refugee boy's hand was blown off when an explosive device lying in a heap of scrap metal went off in Miramshah, they said. |
