 LADAH: A rocket exploded in a field near an Independence Day celebration in South Waziristan Agency on Sunday, but no one was hurt, an official said. The rocket was fired from nearby hills and slammed into the field in Shakai Valley, where more than 1,000 people had gathered to mark Independence Day, said Wisal Muhammad, a government administrator. Nobody claimed responsibility for the attack, which came about 30 minutes before Lt Gen. Safdar Hussain — Peshawar corps commander %— arrived at the ceremony, Muhammad said.
"Mahmoud! There's mebbe a thousand people down there! They're eatin' ice cream and some of 'em's tellin' jokes!"
"They must be killed! Get me my rocket!" |
