Up to six people were killed including one or two ‘Arabs’ in an attack on ‘the compound of local militant commander Taj Ali Khan’ or ‘the house of Haji Awais’. The News reported that Ali Khan was killed along with a ‘foreigner’. The attack was the latest in a number outside the FATA tribal areas. It coincided with an alleged “militant” attack on a terminal in Peshwar damaged goods and destroyed at least eight trucks destined for NATO forces.
