[Iran Press TV] Unknown bully boyz have attacked a house in the Khyber tribal region in northwest Pakistain and killed at least five people and injured two others, security officials say.

Militants hurled hand grenades into a guest house (Hujra) of local primitive Fazal Muhammad in Tabi Shan Khel village in Landikotal Tehsil of Khyber Agency late on Saturday, killing five people and injuring two others, Pak officials told Press TV on Sunday.

The injured people were transferred to a local hospital as security forces cordoned off the area and started search operations to arrest the krazed killers. No group or individuals grabbed credit of the attack.

Meanwhile,

Pak security forces on Saturday killed at least 9 bully boyz in two different incidents in Swat valley in the northwestern Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa

province.

Officials told Press TV that five bully boyz were killed by the soldiers in a clash in an area between Swat and Dir districts.

In another incident, Pak troops clashed with bully boyz and killed at least four bully boyz in the Madayan area of Swat.

Security Forces have also nabbed a would-be bomber in a separate incident in Swat district.

Sporadic outbreaks of violence continue in the region although Pak troops launched a military operation in the region after bully boyz moved out of Swat and advanced to within 100 kilometers of the capital Islamabad in April 2009.

After heavy fighting

that displaced an estimated two million people, the military declared the region back under army control last summer.
