Paramilitary fort in Waziristan attacked



By Dilawar Khan Wazir


MIRAMSHAH, Sept 19: Two missiles on a paramilitary fort were fired in volatile North Waziristan Agency on Sunday night. The attack did not cause any casualty. The army and paramilitary troops returned fire.

According to AFP, the rockets, fired from across the border, landed in a plant nursery near an army camp in the same area where troops last week raided a suspected Al Qaeda compound. Just kilometres away from the rocket attack, troops continued to surround the compound.

TRIBAL MILITANTS CLASH: Meanwhile, supporters of two tribal militants clashed in Jandola near neighbouring South Waziristan Agency on Monday. Two persons were wounded, sources said.

They said that clashes erupted in the town when armed men of wanted militant commander Abdullah Mahsud abducted two supporters of his former comrade Baitullah Mahsud, the one-legged former detainee of the Guantanamo Bay who is still on the wanted list.
