DERA ISMAIL KHAN: A bomb blast wounded a senior Taliban commander and killed four people on Thursday in a market in a northwestern Pakistani region on the Afghan border, police and security officials said.
Maulvi Nazir Wazir, also known as Mullah Nazir, was wounded in the attack at the main market of Wana, the capital of the South Waziristan region. It was not immediately clear who was behind the attack or the extent of Nazir's wounds. "The bomber was a boy aged 13 or 14. Five to seven people were wounded, including Mullah Nazir. His condition is said to be not serious ," one of the police officials said. "Nazir is a very important commander with the support of his tribe," said Mansur Khan Mahsud, the director of research at the Islamabad-based FATA Research Centre.
Nazir is the main warlord in South Waziristan, part of Pakistan's northwestern tribal belt considered a base for al-Qaida and other Islamist militants, and an elder in Wazir tribe. ''
