| Five rockets slammed into a residential area of a northwestern Pakistan city before dawn on Monday, damaging some homes and injuring at least five people, police said. Nobody claimed responsibility for the attack in Bannu, about 220 kilometers (135 miles) southwest of Peshawar, the capital of North West Frontier Province. Local police official Mohammed Sultan said they were still investigating. Bannu, a deeply conservative city, is located at the edge of a tribal region where Pakistani forces have been searching for al-Qaida and Taliban fugitives. It has been hit by small bomb explosions and rockets attacks in recent months. |
