Post attacked in Mohmand Agency
2008-07-08
A Pakistani paramilitary soldier was injured on Monday when attackers from within Afghanistan shot at the Chartanna checkpost in the Mohmand Agency. According to sources, the security forces returned fire but the attackers escaped. The incident, which occurred at around 3pm, was at a site only a few metres north of Gorapari. In June, United States forces carried out airstrikes that resulted in the deaths of around 28 people, including 11 paramilitary soldiers. The sources said that it was unclear who the attackers had been, adding that the attack was definitely from the Afghan side.

#1  I've been lumping these attacks generically under "Taliban," because I haven't been able to break them down any further. The actual "Taliban" is made up of multiple subgroups, ranging from pickup teams like the TNSM to hardcore Qaeda affiliates like Jaish-e-Mohammad.
