 Three people died and three were wounded on Monday when a tribesman fired at administration officials trying to confiscate his Kalashnikov rifle in a town near the Afghan border, government sources said. Miranshah political Tehsildar Iftikhar Ahmed Khattak, Moharir Ali Amroz and tribal policeman Dil Muhammad were gunned down in Miranshahâs crowded bazaar, Razmak Adda, a senior administration official told Daily Times. Ali died at the scene while Iftikhar and Dil Muhammad were pronounced dead in hospital. A policeman and two passers-by were also injured, he said. The gunman fled after the incident. After the killings, authorities have ordered to âshoot at sightâ if anyone is seen with weapons in the Miranshah Bazaar, the official said. Political Agent Tariq Hayat and Tochi Scouts Commandant Waheed Bangash declared that armed persons in Miranshah Bazaar would be shot at sight from today onward. âAnnouncements were made by loudspeakers warning tribesmen against carrying weapons in public,â eyewitnesses said. |
