Three militants were killed and two others including a woman injured when two groups of Taliban clashed in South Waziristan on Friday, security sources and tribal elders said. “Maulvi Nazir’s men raided a house in the Zari Noor area, four kilometres west of Wana, following a tip-off about the presence of a pro-Uzbek commander and a shootout started,” the security sources told Daily Times. They said that among the three killed were Nizamuddin, brother of pro-Uzbek commander Rafiuddin, and his cousin, adding that it was not clear whether Rafiuddin was present in the house at the time of the attack.
Meanwhile, two tribal policemen were killed when they opened fire on each other in Wana Bazaar after a quarrel, a junior government official said asking not to be named. | "Go fer yer guns, Officer Friendly!" |
