| 2008-01-17 |
| A security forces convoy escaped a roadside bomb blast with no casualties in the Chhota Kalam area on Wednesday. Security sources said the convoy, which was on its way to Matta from Kabal, had crossed the blast site seconds before the bomb went off. The forces opened fire and sealed off the area after the explosion. They also launched a search operation and arrested many armed militants in the area. A curfew, meanwhile, remained imposed in the Kabal, Kanju, Bara Bandai, Shakar Darra, Bareem Chowk, Veenai, Shor Gut and Beyochar areas on Wednesday. The authorities, however, relaxed the curfew in the Mingora, Khwazakhela, Matta and Kalam areas. |
