Pakistan Security Forces kill 10 Militants in Kurram Agency
Security forces killed 10 militants and injured five others during an operation in the central Kurram Agency on Wednesday, said sources.
Gunship helicopters pounded militant hideouts in the Jogi area of central Kurram destroying four militant hideouts.
According to sources, the house of Haji Muhammad Saleem, a tribal leader from Sada, central Kurram Agency was also partially damaged when militants placed a bomb nearby.
Sources close to Saleem’s family told that two of Saleem’s daughters, two other children and his brother Malik Sardar were injured in the incident.
Saleem had played a vital role in the agreement between the Shia and the Sunni factions in the area. The agreement led to the reopening of Thall, Parachinar and Sada Highway after a span of three years.
In separate incidents, five security personnel were injured in a road accident in Dogar and two others were injured when a hand grenade went off in the Gul Shah Kalay area. The cause of the incident could not be immediately determined; however, local sources
