KHAR: Militants armed with guns and rockets killed two members of pro-government militia and wounded two policemen in tribal Bajaur district close to the Afghanistan border, officials said Friday.
About a dozen insurgents attacked the homes of two tribal elders near Khar, the main town in Bajaur, late Thursday, administration official Abdul Haseeb said.
The two elders, who were members of a pro-government tribal militia, were killed and two tribal policemen were wounded, Haseeb told AFP.
A security official in the area confirmed the attack and the casualties. Their targets were the tribal elders, he said.
