TIMERGARA, Nov 11: Law-enforcement agencies on Saturday thwarted a subversive plan by defusing six Russian-made missiles in Gul Dehri area of the Lower Dir district.

Police said that possible targets were a paramilitary establishment, housing personnel of Dir Scouts and government buildings. The missiles were planted near an under-construction irrigation channel in the Balambat area.

Officials said that two students informed authorities in the Timergara Fort about the presence of missiles near their house in Gul Dehri village.

Officials of the Dir Scouts and local police along with the bomb disposable squad rushed to the area and seized the missiles planted at the irrigation channel, about four kilometres south of Timergara. An official said that the missiles were Russian-made and were 2.6 feet long. No arrest had been made yet.

Meanwhile, two CD shops were blown up in the Derwara bazaar of the Upper Dir district on Friday night. No casualty was reported but the shops were completely damaged.
