KOHAT, May 9 Militants fired two rockets at Kohat Cantonment on Saturday. The rockets landed in Shiekhan and Happy Valley without causing any damage.

Police said that the first rocket hit Sheikhan road, an area close to military installations. Another rocket exploded in STC Ground of the army in Happy Valley. However no damage was caused by both the rockets.

Security forces also retaliated with artillery fire and targeted suspected hideouts of militants in Darra Adamkhel mountains.

SUSPECT ARRESTED Police claimed to have arrested a suspected terrorist with explosives during an operation in Gumbat area of Kohat on Saturday.

Police said that they recovered two detonators, four metres long cord and a pistol from the possession of the accused identified as Mohammad Zahid. Police handed him over to the investigation department. He was carrying dynamites and bomb making equipment with him, they said.

The Gumbat police registered a case against the accused, and started investigations.

DIG The DIG of Kohat region, who went missing on Friday morning, was found after 17 hours in Abbottabad where he had gone to spend four days to relieve tension, police clarified on Saturday.

The DIG could be contacted at 2am. He told Dawn by telephone from Abbottabad that he realised that his mistake had led to a serious problem when he heard news about his kidnapping on TV channels. To a question, he said that he wanted to spend few days in seclusion to take some rest after hectic duty. He said that he had informed the NWFP IGP before going on leave.

The confusion was caused because the DIG had turned off both his mobile phones and did not inform his staff about the exact location of vacations.

The DIG, Mohammad Idrees Khan, left Kohat in morning on Friday and told his staff that he was going to his home in Mardan but instead he went to Abbottabad, sources said.

Police high-ups contacted all his relatives and friends in Peshawar and other parts of the province but they expressed ignorance about his whereabouts. This led the officers to believe that he had been kidnapped.
