One killed, nine injured in Taliban attacks in Bajaur
2008-12-27
A child was killed and nine persons, including security personnel, were injured when the Taliban fired rockets on Civil Colony in Khar district and Fajja village of Bajaur Agency, local sources said on Friday. They said that two of the injured were in critical condition. Meanwhile, security forces pounded Taliban hideouts in Mamoond and Khar tehsils, but no reports of casualties to the Taliban were received. Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) spokesman Maulvi Omar said the organisation did not oppose female education and the ban on education for females by the Swat Taliban had nothing to do with the TTP. He told reporters on Friday over telephone that the TTP was in the process of convincing the Swat Taliban to review their decision. The spokesman said the TTP had also set up an investigation committee to look into the matter. Omar said they stood by their decision of not resisting the security forces' advance in Bajaur, however, the TTP was concerned about the public's suffering due to the operation.
