FATA violence: Four security personnel killed in various attacks
UPPER DIR: At least one security personnel was killed and two injured when militants attacked a check post in Bin Darra area near the Pak-Afghan border in district Upper Dir on Friday, security officials said.
Officials claimed that more than five militants were killed in retaliation when militants from across the border fired at the Karakar check post at around noon in Bin Darra area of Tehsil Barawal.
The deceased and injured were shifted to Shahi Kot Army Unit Hospital in Upper Dir.
Meanwhile, one security official was killed and two others were injured when a security forces’ mobile patrol hit a road side IED in Sararogha, South Waziristan on Friday, according to security officials.
Five security personnel missing
Addressing the media from an unknown location, Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) spokesperson Ihsanullah Ihsan said they had kidnapped some security personnel whose video would soon be released. “Two of our men were also killed during clashes” Ihsan said.
A security official confirmed that five of their colleagues were missing and their whereabouts were unknown.
Meanwhile, Lakki Marwat police arrested Muhammad Tahir, brother of local TTP commander Ashraf Ali, according to a press statement issued by DPO Lakki Marwat Umar Fayaz.
Tahir was apprehended after police received a tip-off for his location, according to the statement.
He was allegedly involved in the Shah Hassan Khel suicide blast in Lakki Marwat on January 1, 2010, in which more than a 100 people were killed and approximately 30 injured.
Tahir is being kept in an undisclosed location and will be presented before the court on Saturday (today), another police official told The Express Tribune.
IED kills 2 levies personnel
An improvised explosive device (IED) exploded near a Levies post at Khra Shah, Tehsil Khwaizai in Baezai sub-division of Mohmand Agency late Friday evening, security sources of the Mohmand political administration told The Express Tribune.
“There was firing heard after the incident, possibly mortar shells,” the official said.
As a result of the blast and firing, two Levies personnel – Hameedullah and Ismail – were killed while two others were seriously injured. The men were shifted to Agency Headquarter Hospital, Ghallanai.

Roadside bomb injures three security officials
PESHAWAR: Three police men were injured when a police foot patrol came under attack from a roadside bomb on the Shah Aalam Road within the jurisdiction of Daudzai police station on the outskirts of Peshawar on Friday night.
Three policemen Pervaz, Imran and Naseer had been deployed at a security check post in Sakhar Pura village near Satellite Hospital. They were returning to the police station when a bomb planted by the roadside exploded, leaving them injured.
They were rushed to the Lady Reading Hospital (LRH).
SP Rural Shafiullah told The Express Tribune that three police had been injured. “Two of them belong to regular police while the third, Imran, is a Community Police constable,” he said, adding that one of the injured was serious.
A large number of police officers reached the area and started a search operation. They arrested several suspicious people who had been taken to the police station for questioning.
“Around 2 kilogram high explosive has been used in the attack and it was a remote controlled bomb,” an official of the Bomb Disposal Squad (BDS) Hukam Khan, told the Express Tribune, adding that it was a home made device.
It is worth mentioning here that 19 people had been killed in the same area when a powerful explosion inside a Civil Secretariat bus three weeks ago.

Eight dead in Quetta market shooting
In another incident of a brazen daylight attack in Balochistan’s provincial capital, at least eight people, including a policeman, were gunned down at a shop on Saturday.
Police said that armed men entered a laundry shop, situated in the Mill area of Saryab Road, where 11 people were present and opened indiscriminate fire, killing six people on the spot and injuring three others. The injured were shifted to the Provincial Sandeman Hospital, where two of them succumbed to their injuries.
A case has been registered against “unidentified gunmen” and investigations are under way, according to officials.
DIG Investigations Hamid Shakil denied the attack was a case of targeted killing, saying it was possibly a case of personal enmity.
Some reports suggested that the attackers were targeting Sindhi -speaking people. However, local residents dismissed these reports, saying there is no conflict between the Sindhis and Baloch militants on any issue.They argued that there is a possibility that the attack was fuelled by revenge.
According to AFP, initial investigations indicated that the victims were “settlers,” senior police official Iskander Tareen said, referring to people who have settled in Balochistan from other provinces of Pakistan.
However, there was no claim of responsibility for the attack.
Mohammad Ali, a shopkeeper told The Express Tribune, “We heard the sound of firing from the laundry shop and rushed to the spot.” He added that the armed men, who were on motorbikes, were fleeing when they reached the spot.
The deceased were identified as Police Constable Gul Mohammad resident of Dera Allah Yar, Nurullah and Mohammad Umair from Jacobabad, Sher Ahmed from Bhag Nari, Mohammad Ishaq Soomoro, Abdul Hameed and Mohammad.
The owner of the laundry shop, identified as Shehzad, was also injured in the attack and is currently in critical condition.

It is doesn't matter what America and India are doing.
What matters is that what are we doing to handle this situation. Where are our law enforcing agencies? Where are agencies responsible for internal security? Where is the judiciary? Where are the federal and provincial govt?
We are incompetent and we can't blame others for incompetency.

I am waiting for Asma Jehangir to condemn this act of violence.
Or did this happen because of ISI as well? To create negative impression about BLA?

They are not fulfilling their duties. What is stopping them from presenting a detailed report in SC about these terrorists so they can force SC to allow them action against these terrorist organizations. They are just watching like idiots all these killings. Why don't they put pressure on this govt to take action against these terrorists. Why don't they present the barbaric acts of these terrorists in media.
I am sorry to say but in case of Baluchistan we are simply behaving as idiots. And this includes army too.

Eight Pakistani soldiers killed in cross-border attack
By Reza Sayah, CNN
updated 5:06 PM EDT, Sun June 24, 2012
Islamabad (CNN) -- More than 100 Taliban fighters crossed over from Afghanistan and attacked three Pakistani military posts Sunday night, killing at least eight soldiers, Pakistani military officials said.
At least 15 Taliban fighters were killed in firefights that followed the attacks in the district of Upper Dir in northwest Paksitan, Colonel Wasim Ahmed told CNN.
Pakistani Taliban spokesman Ehsanullah Ehsan told CNN the Afghan Taliban carried out the attacks. The Pakistani Taliban helped with reconnaissance and information before the attack, Ehsan said.
Three other Pakistani military officials confirmed the attack but asked not to be named because they are not authorized to speak to the media on the record.
Sunday's attacks were the latest in a series of cross-border assaults from regions in eastern Afghanistan where U.S. troops began pulling out last year.
In 2011, cross-border attacks by militants killed scores of Pakistani soldiers and increased tensions between Pakistan and Afghanistan.
Kabul and Islamabad have long accused one another of not doing enough to secure the border.
Washington has almost always sided with Afghanistan in the finger-pointing, often blaming some of the deadliest attacks against western targets in Afghanistan on militants based in Pakistan's mostly ungoverned tribal region.
