MIRAMSHAH: Five suspected militants were killed when security personnel opened fire on a car at the Saidgi checkpost in North Waziristan on Wednesday.
According to sources, the security personnel signalled the car going from Ghulam Khan towards Saidgi to stop for checking but the driver ignored it, forcing the troops to open fire.
The security forces took the bodies into custody and shifted them to the Miramshah Fort.
The sources said that security forces seized heavy weapons from the car and impounded it.

This is the SOP of every police and army, if they kill someone innocent the best bet is to prove them terrorists, this provide safe exit as well as make them hero. Happens a lot in Kashmir before but now things are changed there, army is accountable but this is not the case in Khyber

According to sources, the security personnel signalled the car going from Ghulam Khan towards Saidgi to stop for checking but the driver ignored it, forcing the troops to open fire. Maybe the driver did not see the signal to stop. Why shoot to kill? Why not shoot at the tyres so that the vehicle stops? and then you can check them. How can you kill human being if you suspect them of being terrorists? Blood calls for blood. Bullets, Bayonets and Boots do not solve all problems.

Kill each agent of enemy, no other option. Tolerance since 1965 is causing the major damage to Pakistan and Balochistan. This is our fault. Who is responsible, who will accept. Corrupts are in expensive garments and no one can touch them. They have muscles stronger than system.
