MIRAMSHAH: At least two security personnel were killed and four others injured Wednesday morning during a suicide attack on a Frontier Corps (FC) checkpost on Bannu-Mir Ali Road in North Waziristan tribal agency, DawnNews reported.
Security officials confirmed the casualties.
A suicide bomber rammed an explosives-laden vehicle into the Shawa checkpost situated on the Bannu-Mir Ali Road. Subsequently, four security personnel sustained injuries.
Following the attack, security personnel cordoned off the site of incident and a curfew was also imposed in the area.
A little known shadowy group, Ansarul Mujahideen, has claimed responsibility for the attack.
The spokesman for Ansarul Mujahideen, Abu Baseer, said their group had targeted the FC checkpost.
He told AFP by telephone from an undisclosed location that the attack was in revenge for the death of Pakistani Taliban leader Hakimullah Mehsud, who was killed in a US drone strike in early November.
North Waziristan is one of the seven regions in Pakistan’s Federally Administered Tribal Areas (Fata) governed by tribal laws. An extremist insurgency led by the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) plagues the region and the area is known to be infested with militants, including those from Al Qaeda and other armed extremist organisations.
