PARACHINAR: Several rockets were fired on Borki village from across the Afghan border on Wednesday, wounding three tribesmen, residents and officials said. They said that at least 15 rockets had been fired from across the border which hit houses in Borki village, some 20km west of here. Villagers said that rival groups had carried out the rocket attack.
