| Suspected militants set fire to a pro-government tribal elder’s residence, while a remote-controlled bomb injured a paramilitary soldier in North Waziristan, officials said Monday. “Taliban militants set the house of Malik Khan Asghar Khan on fire early Monday,” housekeeper Karanti told Daily Times. Asghar Khan had earlier escaped an attack on his life from suspected militants and had gone to Peshawar for security reasons. Meanwhile, a Frontier Corps jawan was “seriously injured” when a remote-controlled bomb was detonated near a checkpost southeast of Miranshah early Monday morning, security officials said. “He [jawan] was bringing water from a nearby place when the bomb went off,” they said. Two killed in Peshawar police encounter: Two unidentified people were killed in a police encounter in the Yakkatoot police precincts late on Monday. Kabuli Police Station Moharir Muhammad Noor told Daily Times that police, on a tip-off, tried to stop a car of alleged criminals in the Kohati area when the car riders opened fire at the police party. The police retaliated, killing two alleged criminals while their third accomplice fled. |
