A Swat Scout's soldier was shot dead in South Waziristan Agency's Makeen area on Sunday, which prompted security forces to seal the area and look for the perpetrator, a government official told Daily Times. Wahab was killed when he stopped a tribesman at a checkpoint and asked him to give in his Kalashnikov before entering Laddah sub-division's Makeen bazaar, the official added. The tribesman fled, hid in a shop and shot and killed Wahab, he said. "The attacker has been identified and military officials are holding a jirga with local tribal elders to arrest the attacker," he added.All tribesmen entering Makeen bazaar have to deposit their weapons at the checkpoint and are given back their weapons once they leave. Local Makeen Peace Committee members met senior Swat Scouts officials and condemned the incident.
