7 Killed in Pak Fresh Clashes

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan, July 30--At least three soldiers and four civilians were killed and eight others were wounded in three different attacks on military convoys in North Waziristan tribal agency of Pakistan, bordering Afghanistan, said officials here Monday.

In the first attack, a military convoy came under attack near Miramshah, a main town of the agency, said military spokesman Waheed Arshad talking to media.

He said there was no human loss in the attack but there was minor damage to the military vehicle. He added the assailants were in two vehicles and were arrested while trying to flee in possession of remote-controlled explosive devices.

Another military convoy was heading to Miramshah from Bannu town when, near Datakhel area, men opened fire, the spokesman said adding that there was an exchange of fire.

Four soldiers were wounded and four civilians were also reportedly killed.

In the third attack, said the spokesman, a Frontier Core (FC) convoy came under attack in the agency and three soldiers were killed.

Elsewhere, four soldiers were wounded when men fired rockets at the military airfield in Miramshah Sunday night, said security officials.

They said one rocket damaged the runway while the other hit a water tank compound guarded by the soldiers.

Pakistani authorities struck a deal with the local militants last September in a bid to isolate foreign groups and curb cross-border incursions into Afghanistan.

But the militants denounced the agreement early this month and have since launched several attacks on security forces.

The army said it killed at least 54 militants in clashes with militants in several days of fighting that erupted on July 21.
