[DAWN] PARACHINAR: Suspected turbans attacked a border post from the Afghan side in Kurram Agency
...home of an intricately interconnected web of poverty, ignorance, and religious fanaticism, where the laws of cause and effect are assumed to be suspended, conveniently located adjacent to Tora Bora...
on Saturday, officials said. They said that the attack was carried out in Shabak area in lower subdivision of Kurram Agency. The turbans fired rockets at the post and also used heavy machine guns. The security forces retaliated and repulsed the attack. No casualty has been reported from either side.

#1  No casualty has been reported from either side.

Rockets and heavy machine guns?
I'm assuming smugglers had already paid off the border guards and this was simply a compensatory diversion.
