MIRANSHAH: Three Frontier Corps (FC) troops were injured when unidentified gunmen opened fire on their convoy in North Waziristan on Sunday morning, officials said. The FC convoy had stopped near Banda village to fetch water from a nearby spring, some five kilometre south of Miranshah. "The FC men retaliated but the assailants escaped after firing on the FC convoy," the sources said. The FC men were deployed at Banda Picket and frequently go to the spring to fetch drinking water. The injured jawans were air-lifted to Bannu Combined Military Hospital by an army helicopter, the sources added. No one claimed responsibility for the attack.
