| [DAWN] Five bodies were discovered in the Pandiali region of the Mohmand tribal region early on Monday. The bodies were discovered in the Uthmanzai area of the region where a recent surprise attack on the security forces left six soldiers dead, according to the official sources. All of the dear departed appeared to have been rubbed out, however, this could not be independently verified, official sources added. The area is under curfew and the bodies could not be identified as a result. Recently there has been an increase in attacks in the Bajaur and Mohmand tribal areas as the factions of the banned murderous Moslem outfit Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistain (TTP) in these areas have declared war on the Pak government. TTP front man Shahidullah Shahid on Sunday claimed that the outfit had captured important posts in the Bajaur tribal area and made advances in the area along the strategic Kaga Pass. On the other hand, the security forces also intensified their activities in the Mohmand and Bajaur tribal regions to counter the attacks by murderous Moslems. In a separate incident in the region, six suspected bully boyz were killed and two soldiers received minor injuries in a skirmish with the security forces late on Sunday night. The incident occurred at 2325 hrs in the Uthmanzai area in the Pandiali region of the Mohmand tribal area, Frontier Corps officials told Dawn. |
